Excerpt: DUNDAS. PRE-FALL 2023.

...So, the difficulty of fashion designers who flirt with the said aesthetics, have to not only pay homage to the stylizations of 40 years ago, but also attempt to make it relevant into the now.   It has to be asked.  Has Peter Dundas been able to achieve this with his latest collection?

For his Pre-Fall 2023 collection, there is no doubting that the yeaning of the copular emanating from the Dundas lookbook.  As he returns to the runways in 2023, Dundas has lifted the intensity of the carnal to extreme highs.   With lace and silk, cocktails dresses and miniskirts.   The Pe-Fall array oozes with an intensified sex appeal, in that wanton and anticipation of a one night stand.  Firmly instilled by Dundas's impression, I  do feel the homage is evident in his projection of 70's romanticism, yet the relevancy in today's world remains illusive.

But since we are all living through another cold war, pandemics and societal turmoil that is indeed a reflection of the past.   Why not make love through it all."
