For this collection, Gabrielle combines Victorian elements of dress, notorious for their repressive and restrictive nature, with a grunge-punk aesthetic, associated with freedom and sexual liberation.

The silhouettes of each dress are highly feminine and girlish, showcasing large bows, ruffle necks and baby doll shapes. By contrast, the use of prints and fabrics tell a different story. Deep purple and green hues checked patterns, leather and velvet textures illicit a tougher, powerful exterior. In this collection, Gabrielle conveys a strong message, Women can dress with power and still embrace their femininity. byROO seeks to challenge the traditional cliches that surround femininity and imbue them with new meaning.
