When Danish born London based designer Malene Oddershede Bach worked for Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, this gave her enough experience behind her belt as she launched her own label.  Her ready-to-wear label was a huge success and so instilled the inevitable innate desire to also launch accessories featuring opticals and bags. Exquisite, elegant and embellished with radiating hues of classiness, these beautifully made pieces and this latest collection identifies Malene as a true fashion visionary.
Marlene’s creations consist of vibrant eclectic prints with structured tailoring ranging from relaxed jersey staples to sensual silk dresses. She has progressed professionally and was awarded as ‘Ones to Watch’, officially by the Vauxhall Fashion Scout and, as a result, increasingly by expert fashion sources around the world. She has certainly acquired a loyal fan base as well as being featured in various fashion publications: Vogue, ELLE, Marie Claire, Grazia to name but a few. Whilst honing her skills at Preen, this designer is certainly a talent in her own right as her collection beautifully captures the feel of modern prints with a sense of refinement, luxurious materials and tailored structures.
Malene Oddershede Bach’s innovative, much-awaited A/W’14 collection embraced a series of floor-length dresses, printed jumpsuits, statement peg trousers, striking coats, tailored suits, and tea dresses, occasionally accompanied by her range of accessories.

At a first glimpse, this description may lack a sense of excitement but in actual fact, the originality and beauty of the collection lies in the detail. Marlene’s usage of an unusual mix of style and diverse materials in each piece enraptured the collection with a sublime oddity and innovative creativity to it.

The attention on form is indeed a prominent acuity.  Oddershede Bach has focused on particularly on form what with her dresses sculpting and adorning the models’ bodies through petal shaped cut-out detailing around the neck as well as sharp shapes detailing the shoulders and waistline. Her useage of textures are inarguably a whim of her imaginative, artistic mind as it scopes from lightweight cotton to silk-like fabrics, heavier leathers to soft wool, as well as thicker materials used to make some of the heavily textured peg trousers and dresses.
Malene Bach’s A/W’14 collection follows the parallels her recent collections with her ideology flowing throughout her pieces of structured layering, love of leather, and experimentation with different fabrics and textures. Yet this is a parallel of contrast also, as the collection is a breath of fresh air from a fashion genius.
