Mixing prints with minimalism for Spring 2011, Australian designer Michael Angel played with the concept of hide and seek. Angel used latex to help obscure the prominent female form. He also experimented with texture by layering different materials together, ie. silk twill and leather. Noteworthy were the unique collars he made by cutting off men’s dress shirt collars and incorporating them into his outfits, creating a layered top with a collar while exposing the midriff.
