RUBY: X GATTOBRAVO

Monday 13 October 2014

In a land of RUBY, where it's possible for each release to be beyond incredible, lays here where you are; RUBY itself and their latest RUBY x GATTOBRAVO collaboration. I'm not completely sure who's behind the design team, but there is always something special about each piece of clothing that comes out of this label. I was lucky enough to style the collections and shoot them in which you will see here today. I was also very lucky to receive the 3 brooch set which includes a green eye, pink lips (as shown above) and a blue hat. I've incorporated the main RUBY line and the brooches with the limited edition collection: RUBY x GATTOBRAVO. This is a collaboration with illustrator, Gattobravo that has been featured in Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Glamour and Dior. To me, Gattobravo is a quirky artist that makes everything look slightly messy but also has an elegance to it, just the way I like it. RUBY has used the illustration by Gattobravo and has printed them on socks, brooches and clothing pieces using embroidery, enamel, embellishments and print. I'll be showing you how I styled both RUBY main line and RUBY x GATTOBRAVO. Due to transportation issues I was only able to carry 4 pieces but no matter, enjoy. (Outfit details at the end of the blog post)

The face of this collaboration is Imogen Gentles (Clyne), let's take a moment and admire how perfect she is for the role. That face in itself is a winner.

Everything besides the sunglasses and shoes are from the RUBY: x GATTOBRAVO collection. This collection is very flexible. Flexible in a very positive way because every piece can be pieced together and it looks effortless and stylish. Add in some extra accessories and it looks even more put together. I think, even when you get one piece from these collections, I guarantee you that it will be your favourite piece in your wardrobe.
