Come Fly with Me

Come Fly with Me

After the success of her first collection, In Bloom, Sara Phillips has followed up with a beautiful, fresh and feminine A/W09 range.

Come Fly with Me is inspired by all things in flight. From birds of a feather to planes in motion, Phillips? collection captures the essence of flying through garments that are willowy, earthy and natural. As Phillips states, ?All the garments are light and floaty, representing flying and movement?.

Light-hearted and fresh, yet mature and sophisticated, the range has a rich colour palette of plum, greyand khaki, giving it a warm and luxurious feel. Silk twill, organza, velvet and jerseys create a simple aesthetic for the collection, which also features prints that are original artworks, copyrighted to Sara Phillips. Shapes and silhouettes are striking, with high-waisted shorts and exaggerated bell sleeves. Sheer is a dominant feature of the collection, as seen in the beautiful Alice skirt and Swooping shirt in grey. Teamed with a stunning organic feather design, these pieces are must-haves this winter.

Other highlight pieces include the Dove smock with a poncho-like feel that alludes to a bird?s wing span. The feather jackets in black and grey are versatile pieces that can be worn over pants and dresses. Phillips? bird inspiration is felt in every piece in the collection, which features names such as Mockingbird, Parrot, Finch and Rosella. Also accompanying the range is a selection of gorgeous feather headbands available in thin and wide styles, in lilac, purple and black.

Phillips made the decision to start her own label while studying an advanced diploma in Fashion Design at Sydney Institute?s Fashion Design Studio. The young Sydneysider always wanted to have her own business and after gaining invaluable industry experience with Saba and Jayson Brunsdon, it was time for Phillips to venture out on her own.

Available from February 09, Sara Phillips? eponymous label is bound to make an impact in the Australian fashion world this winter. Of the collection, Phillips describes the Come Fly With Me collection as ?more mature, more grown up, and perfectly indicative of the label?s evolution and growth?.
