Ronald van der Kemp spring 2016 couture collection is filled with endless textures, patterns and colors. The collection incorporates a modern twist on many basic staple pieces by adding an edge to each of the looks. The sharp angular hems of the outfits further convey an edgier vibe. It forms a look that is eccentric and says “look at me.”
While many of the looks in the collection are black or neutral colors, the spring collection also adds a pop of color by incorporating bright hues into certain looks. These vibrant colors scream to be seen underneath the dark contrast of the blacks, grays and nudes in the collection. Yet, it is the all-black pieces that truly accentuate the collection.
To translate Ronald van der Kemp’s style into your own look, fit together an all-black ensemble. Black as a color tends to create an illusion of one being cool and trendy. One can revel in this feeling of being funky, yet composed all at once. This is exactly what Ronald van der Kemp’s all-black looks did; the all-black pieces formed a statement that didn’t go unseen.
To make your own statement begin with a leather jacket. This leather jacket is crucial to the entire look for it is the piece that ties it together. Pair the jacket with a lace camisole to provide more visual texture to the outfit, so that it will seem more interesting and unique.
Next, add a black pleated short. The pleats will enhance the texture by mixing and matching with the lace and leather together, as seen in the collection. Add black patterned tights for that smooth legged look. And for that final edge, give your look an unexpected twist with a pair of combat boots. Clunky in nature, but still quite chic, these boots will take your style to the next level.
