A PRETTY PIECE WITH A PSYCHADELIC CHERRY ON TOP

Australian design duo Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales behind Romance Was Born, have once again exceeded fashion heights with their pre-collection Miraculous Mundane. Miraculous indeed, the duo have drawn inspiration from psychedelic Willy Wonka and dreamlike Australian artist Stephen Bush to create a whirlwind of colour, candy and chaos.  

THE BORN ROMANTICS

We are in love with Happy Campers, Romance Was Born’s newest collection.

As the leaves go brown and the sky is tinged with grey, this label shows no sign of 

surrendering to winter’s colour palate. Strong silhouettes boast predominately 

deep rustics with the occasional neon or pastel hue. 

In true Romance was Born fashion, there is a repetition of several prints 

that creates both symmetry and a sense of recognition.

 Despite the title of the collection, I don’t think we would ever go camping in these clothes. 

And despite the name of the label itself, having these clothes in our arms 

would not be a romance: more a long-term love affair.
