Samantha Pleet SS16: A Lovely Haunted House

An illustrated lookbook for the dreamy and whimsical collection inspired by ghosts and mysteries.

/ "Ghosts are your friends and dreams become reality…The clothes invoke faded memories of a home held dear and surreal visions are conjured in ethereal prints… of haunted house details [such as] embroidered window frames and doors.” /

SS16 SAMANTHA PLEET

/ As they tiptoe across the floorboards clutching candles, staring into mirrors and seemingly dancing with ghosts, the characters manage to maintain their preppy-disco, 70s inspired outfits without enduring sizzled hair or sooty butts in this “magical and atmospheric setting”. She says, “I’m interested in images that do not follow stereotypical illustrated fashion aesthetics. The look is heavily inspired by 1960s book illustrations and old Polish film posters." /
