On an overcast night, in a back street of Fremantle, a rustic warehouse was transformed into a luxurious romantic escape as Fenella Peacock showcased her A/W 2012 ‘Poetica’ collection on Friday April 27.

All the elements conspired to aid a worthwhile cause, with all funds from the evening being contributed towards the Junior Exchange Sailing Scheme (J.E.S.S).

The flowing garments were accentuated by an inspired choice of venue composed of antique timbre and soft lighting.

The elegant collection utilises velvet, lace, leather and silk interchangeably and with ease.

Charmed and awestruck observers breathed joyous whispers of delight as no fabric was left untouched.

The sway and sweep of the cuts flaunt the fact that this range is made to be mixed and matched.

The softly layered earthy tones, austerely strict pencil skirts and sensual tones confirm the intimate understanding that Fenella possesses of the female form.

A sneak peak at the Spring/Summer 2012/13 ‘Odalisque’ collection allowed individuality to shine, and it was apparent that colour is the medium of expression in this coming range.

The show was pulled together with signature red lipstick as the night filled with feminine flavour came to an end.
