Owning a piece of Soler clothing is like being bestowed honorary membership to an elite club. Spanish born designer Alex Al-Bader has deliberately kept her label exclusive, choosing to sell only to shops that she has a personal affinity with and restricting her collection to small, limited runs. Al-Bader's collections have garnered a cult following via word of mouth rather than a concerted publicity campaign, although Vogue have already highlighted Al-Bader as one to watch.
The vintage inspired collection includes diaphanous silk chiffon floor length kaftans, bias cut ethereal sundresses with fluted sleeves and chic jumpsuits. It is a relaxed, fluid look, perfect for the beach teamed with metallic flats or dressed with heels for the evening. Each piece available from Couverture for Spring Summer 2010 is exclusive to the store.
