Mackage – Spring 2012 Review – Softened For Spring

Mackage designers Eran Elfassy and Elisa Dahan love structure and that ardour has served them well as the brand has expanded strongly and successfully into ready-to-wear over the past few seasons. The lighter fabrics and looser fits of a wardrobe for spring and summer can pose a strong challenge to that type of designer, especially when you have a background in designing outerwear which tends to be very constructed. Striking the balance between the needs of a warm weather wardrobe and a designer’s desire to dictate how fabric moves can be tricky, Elfassy and Dahan haven’t done much of this before, so the Spring 2012 collection was very interesting to see.

Mackage – Fall 2011

Mackage designers Eran Elfassy and Elisa Dahan have a slightly different working relationship. “I’ll draw a little bit”, says Mr. Elfassy, “and then she’ll grab my paper and erase and I’ll say why did you change that? And she’ll say, ‘because I hate it!’ And then we keep going, and eventually we both love it.” The label’s continuing expansion from outerwear into ready to wear has broadened into the field even further with their Fall 2011 collection.
