Blanca Brought European Summer To Australian Fashion Week 2023

BRB, booking a vacay, stat!

Forget the long haul flights (and the fact that it’s freezing outside), instead take a peek at what’s to come from cult Australian fashion label Blanca and prepare for a sumptuous summer, wherever you are.

Presenting their Resort ‘23 collection at Afterpay Australian Fashion Week, Blanca delighted guests with an ode to European summer, forgoing past season’s punchy colours for a delicious palette of soft sage green, sweet apricot, lilac, grounding neutrals and powder blue – a reflection of the surrounding landscapes and the clear, cloudless sky.

Models lounged on luxe furniture wearing Blanca’s warm-weather take on tailoring – linen, and lightweight woollen suiting in relaxed fits, like wide-leg pants, oversized blazers and coordinating long skirts – proving the range is versatile enough for both work and play, and wouldn’t look a step out of place in either scenario.

Those already familiar with Blanca will be happy to note the brand’s signature relaxed shirting was a proud feature on the runway, reimagined in sheers and bold stripes, often teamed with matching separates like a summer uniform, haphazardly unbuttoned (because who has time to do that when you’re in peak holiday mode?) or cinched with the softest knit.

While AAFW is the perfect opportunity for designers to tease their upcoming ranges due to drop later in the year, you can always start building your Blanca wardrobe (and packing for a vacay) with what’s currently available at THE ICONIC.
