Meet Our Models

Meet MOIXA catwalk model Dorothy

One of the hardest things for us here at MOIXA is casting models for our catwalks.

It's a tough job choosing only a few models when so many beautiful ones walk through the door. So what do we look for in a model? Well they have to suit the brand, but we also look for a girl who looks interesting and has personality.

Over the next few weeks we will introduce you to the wonderful models from our Autumn/Winter 2016-17 show one by one.

Up first is Dorothy, returning for her second season with Moixa. She is a UK based model and Event Promoter. You'll find Dorothy twitting away @ModelGirlMomo

MOIXA AUTUMN/WINTER 16-17 ~ INTERACTIVE CATWALK

The Autumn/Winter 2016-17 collection, IF BY SEA, continues the journey of Nephila (the Golden Orb-web Spider), the MOIXA muse. In her search for adventure she decides she would like to travel by sea, but first she must get a job.

It's all about glamour at the office with loosely tailored silhouettes that look professional, feminine and chic. The collection takes a lot of inspirations from the sailboat itself. Gold rope with sailor’s knots are used to secure overlays shaped like sails. The hand dyed Batik prints capture the colour palette chosen to reflect the sea’s greens and blues along with hues of rust and sand that represent the boat’s deck. Reworked classic dress shirts with French cuffs and caps sleeves team up with trouser and skirts made of Japanese drill featuring jetted pockets and gold buttons.

Although not as predominant as the previous collection, the gold handmade web stills finds its way into a few of the outfits along with a few Swarovski stone scattered here and there.

Suitable for everyday wear, the garments are designed to endure the test of time.

For the Moixa Spring/Summer 2016 collection, designer Denise Mahmud has taken her inspiration from the Golden Orb-web spider which takes its journey from its home in the forest to the surrounding cities.

The silhouettes are playful and impulsive, retaining a ladylike feel. Soft handmade web is combined with bright and vibrant fabrics and detailed with crystals, beads and stones, with deep forest digital prints making an appearance throughout.
