Melissa On: The Apres Beach Collection

 

'It's all about a bohemian approach', muses Melissa as she explains what influenced her 2018 Apres Beach collection. 'I wanted to create 10 unique dresses, bold prints, statement pieces- a jet setter needs her 'wow outfit''.

 

We completely agree! The frustration of trying to pack the perfect outfit for any vacation destination is something we are all familiar with. The concept behind the Apres Beach Collection is combining the luxury of a designer dress, with the simplistic only-pack-the-essentials mindset. The 11 different pieces are each crafted from luxurious light-weight fabrics, detailed with demure lace details and secret pockets- ( that's the best thing about the Becky dress!)

 

I wanted to create a collection that was reflective of who I am as a person, and how I pack for my vacations!'- Melissa informs us, 'Relaxed, care-free but still making a statement!'. The dresses each make a statement on their own, so there's no need to pack extra heels or jewellery or accessories. They look just as striking worn with some simple sandals.  And the best thing about them is they don't crease so they travel quite well too!'

  The Odabash woman is a deluxe traveller, her wardrobe is reflective of every corner of the earth combining luxurious fabrics from Italy, patterns from Morocco and delicate lace from France. Behind every creation emerges a story of an eternal icon that continually unfolds in the passing of each day.
