The Bite Magazine - Autmn/Winter 2020 - Issue 28

bitefashion Magda Butrym is known for combining modern design with the most delicate fabrics and traditional craftsmanship to pro- duce pieces with a ‘soul’. Her eponymous line is defined by me- ticulous hand-finished details, including pleating, crocheting, and embroidery. The quality of the textiles she chooses and the attention to detail are evident in every piece, whether it is the sumptuous wool coats to the whimsically asymmetrical shirt-dresses, lavishly draped skirts, and racy crocheted cock- tail dresses. In the Pre-Fall 2020 collection, you will find pieces such as the Tailored Blazer in Cream, Black, and Pink, Vest in Cream, and Wide Leg Tailored Pants in Black and Cream. The jacket is a timeless blazer cut into a classic straight silhouette with padded shoulders, notched lapels, and decorative buttons on the cuffs. At the same time, the vest has a close fit and fastens with classic buttons. The wide-leg pants have a high-waist and straight leg with a concealed hook and zip fastening along the front. The Mini Dress in Snake Print has playful ruffle detail at the neckline, and a slim fit cut that beautifully emphasises the sil- houette. It also features soft shoulder straps that ensure comfort whilst wearing. Another great design is the sexy Open-Back Silk Dress in Cream and Black. It has a slim fit that gently hugs your curves and features thin, crossover straps that are accom- plished with delicate flowers and a high split on the back. Try it casual with the Magda Butrym t-shirt with padded shoul- ders and the brand’s embossed logo. Made from soft cotton, it has a slightly loose fit and features a classic crew neckline. Team this with the Denim Jacket in Navy Blue which has a straight silhouette that can be adjusted by self-tie straps on the back. To complete the head-to-toe denim look, pair it with Totness Denim Pants in Navy Blue. This oversized silhouette features a high-rise waist and wide legs with characteristic stitching at the front. Keep it simple with the Maxi Silk Dress in Floral Print with v-neckline, voluminous sleeves, neck scarf, and side slits or ag- gressive with the sexy Leather Blazer in Snake Print made from sheep leather in a classic straight silhouette, with padded shoul- ders, and notched lapels. Wear it with the Snake Print Silk Shirt with button fastening through the front and the tapered Snake Print Leather Pants, also made from sheep leather, with a high- rise waist and tempered legs, to complete the set. The Fall/Winter 2020 presents a masculine, yet sexy feminine style with a sense of tenacity and power illustrated with bold, sharp lines of the cut. In this collection, the shoulder widths are wide, exaggerated with shoulder pads and accentuate the smaller feminine waist. By cinching the waist with belts, rather than nipping them in at construction, the jackets have a more masculine look which allows them to be more fluid in layering over similar fabrics to create stable and confident silhouettes. The trench coats have a loose cut and considered finish includ- ing single jewelled buttons that illustrate the designer’s long- time love of singular pieces of jewellery such as chain drop ear- rings. Single jewels are also added into the herringbone fabrics to transform these suits into the evening to add a hint of reflec- tion. You will also find an abundance of crystals on the lapels of the fitted tux jacket, designed with broad shoulders.
