70’s disco just got seriously updated.

Silk and leather blouse

Oatmeal, gold, tangerine and canary yellows
Tangerine was used for jolts of colour throughout. These shorts would be killer with a navy blouse and flats
Navy & charcoal silk and lurex maxi dress with a top that billows and a peek a boo slit back
Classic separates updated in fabrics normally associated with after dark
Monochrome T-shirt blouse with white leather paillettes

The always classic white shirt

Sleeveless black and white dress with perforated leather skirt.  While taking this picture, I imagined wearing this with pointy flats and a messy top knot to show off the row of buttons that ran down the back
To be honest I don’t know a lot about Sachin & Babi.  I had paused to view their collections on sites like Shopbop but that was about it.  With zero purchase history and a self confessed ‘let’s see what their clothes are like in real life’ curiosity, I accepted their invitation to view their S/S 2012 collection.
Let’s put it this way.  That gold lurex maxi in pic 1 greeted me at their entrance.  You lot already know how about feel about maxis…..
The feel in the room was 70’s glam revisted in textures, neon flashes & lurex got upgraded to make it seductive (I’d take all of pic 7 & 8 – hangers included since I’ve run out of those). 
The mixing of night fabrics into day and vice versa is what I’m all about. I don’t need to tell you how I feel about wearing glitz during the day. 
I did touch that gold maxi on the way out…
