Runway: Boss SS17
In a perfect meeting of bold colour and intricate craftsmanship, artistic director Jason Wu’s sixth collection for Boss Womenswear is his most vibrant yet.
Taking the vivid hues and architectural lines of David Hockney’s pool series as his starting point, Wu introduces sportswear and utility details, alongside sensual glimpses of skin, to perfectly undone tailoring and feminine dresses.
Internal drawstrings, adjustable straps and oversize pockets take the relaxed tailoring perfected on the BOSS runway last season in a new, sporty direction.
Layering is a key theme, with tactile, fine-knit dresses doubled up for twice the impact, while feather-light tank tops in lace and chiffon underpin several key looks.
