Fall Cheongsam in Electrify

The Fall Cheongsam has been in our made to order collection for a while. It is the lesser known sister of the Petals Cheongsam. Upon numerous customer requests, we are finally making a very limited number in ready-to-wear. First in the series—Electrify.

Electrify is turquoise lace on iridescent Chinese brocade. One moment it looks harmoniously blue, another, it looks highly contrasting. Sometimes the lace floral into the brocade seamlessly, sometimes it looks like lace applique popping out of the traditional fabric.

Enough said, you have to see it for yourself. But this is not for everyone, only for the discerningly quirky.

Cheongsam and Nothing Less or More

A formal cheongsam for an international seminar is all that was on her mind when she came to us. An elegant lady of poise needs no further ornamental touch in our opinion, her grace finishes any cheongsam perfectly.

A traditional Chinese brocade fabric in iridescent white, shows a different colour in every angle, but all with pink tones to complement her cool-fair complexion. The only decorative element is a pink-toned semi-precious gemstone button at the collar to bring attention to her bright eyes.The cheongsam was cut full length, straight cut to convey the formality of the event. The cheongsam bares up to mid-back, just right to accentuate the small waistline, yet conservative as a Chinese ethnic dress in eyes of her foreign friends.

Simple Shape Cheongsam

The client asked for a cheongsam that is simple, she can dance in ( reads: comfortable and stretchy ), reflects her personality, and unlike the last cheongsam we created for her full of floral applique and Swarovski crystals.

She is every bit a lady, soft spoken, mild mannered, smart, and elegant, yet the twinkle in her eyes betrays the sense of mischief in. When asked how she would like her cheongsam, she showed us the Mad Men series promotional pictures.

60s aesthetics in the 21st century sensibility. We are talking about a well mannered lady who tangos in a cheongsam.

Simple shapes were made on the cheongsam, all to enhance the female form, fabric of assorted elasticity was opted to be placed on different areas, with the lightest colour growing from the centre.

There was much calculations to be made, for every shape made. It was truly a dress for the lady of intellect.

Colour Palette SS10

The SS10 Mazzario ready-to-wear sees a composed palette of quiet blues and shimmering greys with bursts of festive red tones.

No pastels. Contrast is provided by stark white background to many variation of fairly dense print, against medium to navy blue & black. The use of varying shine of different silver fabric accents the otherwise calming palette. Red appears in the form of a flower print, a lace overlay, a delicate Chinese button, or clean simple denim for the festive code.

Stay tuned, more pictures of our new range coming soon.
