“We are so thrilled to work with Abisola on this capsule collection,” said Orlagh McCloskey, co-founder and design director of Rixo, which initially extended its sizing in some of its styles to a UK 24 last year. “We’ve been passionate about perfecting our fit and extending our sizes for the past two years, and collaborations like this one allow us to keep improving and understanding the needs of different body shapes.”
It’s this willingness to listen and determination to do better that the fashion industry needs to adopt on a much bigger scale. For now though, let us bask in the beauty of the Rixo x Abisola Omole collection for a while. True to form, the dresses are visually exceptional whilst retaining their premium quality. The design considerations ensure a second-to-none fit—there are bra-friendly straps and necklines, and the Apple skirt and Benedict dress feature a concealed elasticated back-waist panel.
And of course, I have to shout out the colour palette. The pieces are peppered with fresh tones of lemon and lime, whilst some brighter shades are grounded with timeless black in a considered nod to current trends.
