Cloudy skies and golden sand dunes: 5 minutes with Limedrop

20 April, 2010

We recently chatted with the lovely duo behind Melbourne label Limedrop about their beautiful new collection, 'Silver Lining'. 

Design couple Nathan Price and Clea Garrick shared with us the inspirations behind their unqiue prints and silhouettes, and their own favourite outfits from the collection...

Tell us about the amazing prints in the new collection

The AW10 prints are very ethereal, soft and dreamy. We have a cloud silk twill and a golden sand dunes print.

Prints are important to our label. We like to make our mark on fabric and have a long selection and design process to get the best results, we screen print our designs in-house and we’re increasing the amount of digital prints in our collections.

Talk us through the men’s and women’s silhouettes this season

The collection is subtlely unisex, few pieces are distinctly “his” or “hers”. We have given the control to the wearer to masculinise or feminise each garment according to their own taste and style.

The shiny but sharp “Spanish Jacket” is true to the collection’s name; using PVC coated linen to create a glamorous yet punkish look this classic blazer indeed has a silver lining – eye catching but wearable. Your everyday check shirt has also been handed an update; by adding extreme length to the back and asymmetrical tailoring, guys now have the oversized shirt of the season and the girls have an easy-wear dress for day and night.

What were your inspirations when you were designing the collection?

We are continuing the travel inspiration and infusing the collection with a care-free feel. The Australian landscape has inspired the colours with soft blues, cool greys, super shine black and tarnish gold/khaki, which evoke the mood of long afternoons on the coast, warm walks through tropical rainforests and slow drives along the Outback’s ever changing horizon.
