I was first introduced to the Raoul label on a trip to Singapore for Audi Fashion Week last year. It was great to discover a label that could translate to the Melbourne climate and so far I think this is my favourite collection. The fabrics are mainly silk or silk blends which means there is a lot of fluid movement and a lightness that’s tempered by block colours.
Despite the lack of black I can imagine seeing these basic and wearable pieces on the streets of Melbs in the warmer months ahead. There was enough edginess in two-tone contrasting dresses or shirts that had pop with a coral collar or pink skirt to satisfy serious fashionistas. Otherwise if you just like the waft of a cream silk shirt or a light-as-air navy maxi dress you can accessorise yourself you will be equally pleased. Overall a very clever and well executed collection.
