The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2020 - Issue 27

bite catwalk SHOPYTE G racing us with their SS20 collection this season is the sustainable and ethical fashion brand that is Shopyte. The models’ identities were hidden underneath face masks and wide-brimmed hats as they adorned artistic blocks of the multi-dimensional colour of the brand’s elegant and minimalistic designs. Opposing pastel blue and black teamed up for beautiful asymmetry in dresses and relaxed business suits. The collection incorporated tailoring for light blazers and coats that created chic looks for Shopyte’s womenswear. Layering was divulged to the audience beneath open cen- tre-backs in a continual spirit of effortlessness throughout each look. Expertise styling of their outfits conveyed the brand’s focus on ensuring that each piece can be paired or layered with another – thus, expressing the ultra-versatili- ty of their SS20 collection. Sheer fabrics were a recurring element in blouses that sported double collars along with geometric prints of layered, towering grids. Such prints toyed with the idea of the concrete jungle and placed the collection on the streets and in art galleries where it belonged as we transitioned through spring into a hot summer. In an industry overrun by excessive waste and poor work- ing conditions, we are grateful for Shopyte holding itself true to ensuring that with each purchase, a tree is planted with the One Tree Planted organisation. www.shopyte.eu
