Pre-Fall 2024
Pamella Roland's Pre-Fall 2024 collection is a mesmerizing homage to the timeless allure of Dutch floral still life paintings of the 17th century by such masters as Jan Bruegal the Elder & Rachel Ruysch.. This season transforms into a canvas where light, shadow, and perspective dance harmoniously, echoing the captivating essence of those masterpieces. Pre-Fall’s, asymmetrical compositions and an enigmatic mood weave their way into the collection's silhouettes, unveiling sculptural gowns adorned with cascading ruffles and sleeves that evoke the opulent abundance found in floral arrangements.
The color palette is a canvas in itself, exploring the depths of the Dutch masters' understanding of color. Brilliant jewel tones and subdued matte pastels intermingle seamlessly with Pamella's trademark ombres, exotic feathers, and intricate hand embroideries. The collection comes alive with three-dimensional, multi-colored handcrafted florettes, lending a breathtaking vibrancy to statement pieces like a stunning strapless cocktail dress and an awe-inspiring finale gown.
Key pieces within the collection echo the hyperrealistic portrayal of nature's opulence seen in Dutch still life portrayals. A champagne gown, adorned with floor-length fully embroidered sleeves resembling gracefully climbing vines, serves as a testament to this artistic tradition. Additionally, a nude mermaid-style gown intricately embellished with meticulously hammered botanic appliques encapsulates the collection's profound reverence for the beauty captured in these historical masterpieces.
