Erdem Moralioglu's twin sister, Sara, makes TV documentaries about geography and natural history. He's been looking at her films, watching the survival movie Alive, and thinking, he said,
"about Picnic at Hanging Rock:
girls surviving on the mountain. Elegantly, sort of." Moralioglu quotes these sorts of sources with a wry smile, in the full knowledge that they're pure fashion whimsy. In practical terms, what it meant was he'd come up with an autumnal palette of brown, ocher, teal, rust, and tan for his prints and coats, and a gray as dirty as a leaden November sky for a lace dress.
