Ports 1961 A/W 2014

How many ways can one cut a classic men's shirt for a woman? In honour of Ports original No. 10 blouse, designer Fiona Cibani gave a wholehearted stab this season at finding out. From properly buttoned-up iterations worn classically under black sweaters and circle skirts, to the more elaborate layers of tiered cotton ruffles belted to look like a structured jacket, the white shirt came in multiple and inventive guises across the runway. When pleated into a jacket version, or worn with a draped white mink collar with loose black pants, this piece took on the clean lines of the strongest sections of the collection. The sheer arm versions, on the other hand, looked less successful with fussy black tuxedo overalls worn flap down. Cibani regained ground however, on her sharply tailored, mile-long, boot cut flared pants and the pleated leather skirt worn with a matching voluminous leather skirt that emerged as a convincing new winter tailleur.
