I have researched many designers that can really inspire the Effervescent brand in terms of the designs and colour palette of the garments, one of my favourite designers that has really inspired is Erdem, who regularly uses vibrant floral prints alongside lace and embellishment which combines into really beautiful RTW garments on the catwalk. The following review has been taken from Vogue.com in which Chioma Nnadi reviews Erdem's Spring 2013 runway show.
Where he has drawn from a painterly palette of reminiscent of Monet's waterlilies in the past, Erdem's new florals radiated with hot hues more commonly found on Mars. Organza silk dresses were woven with neon orange, baby blue, and yellow petals that were like artificial colours in a box of candy - or as he put it, "toxic pastels." A power shortage cut out the lights midway through the show. "Sometimes the spaceship malfunctions," he said laughing.
In some ways that moment only served to highlight special effect of the clothes, and you could imagine how the Day-Glo embroidery would shimmer like traces of very chic kryptonite in a dark room. The silhouette, on the other hand - a wasp-waisted fifties line that was finished with a ruffled collar or a bejeweled neck - spoke to a feminine approach to dressing that finds its footing in the real world. Though, with all ingenious diaphanous layering, it was hard to tell where an applique lace skirt ended and a studded silk chiffon top began. In fact almost all of those looks came in one piece.
