For Spring Summer 2012, Australian cult accessories label Mimco has come up with a collection it’s called “Dreamwarp Society” and that mixes up an eclectic group of influences.

Starting with a “pretty punk girl who rocks the Renaissance”, the Mimco collection then “delves into the opium dens of 1930’s Hong Kong, slides into the retro futurism of a minimalist kingdom and finally leaving through the invisible exit door of a surreal and robotic desert-scape”.

There are four central themes in Dreamwarp Society – East & West, Punk & Romance, Modern & Tribal and Minimalism.

East & West is a mix of fabrics in pleating, tassles, sequins, gold hardware, copper tones, tortoiseshell, woodgrain looks, a dragon motif and a filigree metal bow. Punk & Romance mashes up pearls, hematine and pastel half coat Czech crystal with grainy leather, quilting, zebra print ponyskin and metal and resin spikes.

Pyrite, brushed silver and gunmetal are combined with petrol coloured jade facet stones and smoky quartz in Modern & Tribal, while Minimalism is all clean lines, reflective surfaces and restrained decorations.
