Pola Thomson S/S'13: Sophisticated power - The Clothes Maiden Magazine

Inspired by her nostalgic obsession of America in the 60’s and 90’s Pola Thomson has created a spring/summer collection which brings timeless women’s fashion to the fore. The Chilean-born, NY based fashion designer demonstrates a real flair for the feminine silhouette in her new collection.

The designer who debuted in 2010 and has since featured in great fashion publications such as Harper’s Bazaar México and Marie Claire Latin America.

The new collection is true her signature display of feminine power and sophistication incorporating opulent feminine fabrics which include silk, satin, cotton and metallic.

The palette is made up of black, white, silver and light pink and has an understated sense of power.

Inspired by Hollywood glamour and pop culture she displays her diversity drawing from such diverse subjects as Gwyneth Paltrow, Jackie Kennedy, the star system and migratory flamingos.

The designs take on geometrical shapes with the use of square cut tops, asymmetrical off the shoulders, straight chest line dress, circular draped dresses and narrow leg pants. The use of silk in these pieces provides an even greater sophistication to these timeless pieces.
