Therese's intimacy

Get intimate with Therese Rawsthorne

By Kat George, 27 May 2010

 

Therese Rawsthorne is known for ladylike modernity, romance and subtly 80s inspired structure. For winter, the designer gets intimate.

Since 2006, Therese Rawsthorne has created some of the most sought after Australian collections. With easy femininity as a backbone, Therese Rawsthorne bolsters romance with humour and run-away reckless abandon. Designed with the little girl who stole from the cookie jar- a little girl who exists in us all- in mind, Therese Rawsthorne is a label dedicated to easy elegance, broody nonchalance with a touch of whimsical mischievousness.

Realised on a base of natural fibre including cotton, silk and wool, Therese Rawsthorne’s winter collection, ‘Intimacy’ is a candid glimpse into the softly beating feminine heart. From powder blues to barely there lilac, crisp white to deep black, Therese Rawsthorne’s colour palette spans the gambit of romantic dreamer to power luncher, and does so with a capricious effortlessness. 

With Therese Rawsthorne’s signature commanding shapes added to winter’s Intimacy, the collection takes on somewhat of a modern feel that is quietly teased by the pervading intrinsic girliness. With blossoming, structural skirts on one shouldered, prom –like dresses and distinctive cut outs on broad shouldered shirts, Therese Rawsthorne bridges the gap between playing dress up and growing up. Bound up in the passion of youth and the stillness of wisdom, Therese Rawsthorne is a label that allows every adult woman the chance to embrace the boundless imagination of little girl inside.
