House of Iveshead Takes a New Direction With Mosiac

Seun Emmanuel

House of Iveshead’s new collection, Mosaic, designed by Beatrice Omere, makes an immediate impression through its use of colour, embroidery, and silhouette. Across seven looks, Beatrice presents pieces that are visually commanding and immediately recognizable, unified by the idea of fragments coming together to form a whole.

The strength of the collection lies in its embroidery and silhouette, with beadwork also playing an important role. Each piece is built from sections of colour and texture that reflect the concept of a mosaic, distinct fragments brought together into a unified design. This gives the collection a strong visual identity and distinguishes it from more minimal looks. For some pieces, though, the embroidery takes centre stage in a way that risks overshadowing the cut. The balance is not always consistent, but when it works, the designs feel both striking and deliberate.

What is consistent throughout is the craftsmanship. The detailing shows care, and the finish of each piece gives it clarity and impact. While the designs may not appeal to those who prefer subtlety, they establish Beatrice as a designer with a clear point of view and a willingness to experiment with colour and pattern.

By resisting minimalism and opting for bold pattern and embellishment, she is carving out a space that feels distinct from many of her contemporaries. The collection shows a willingness to take risks, and though refinement may sharpen her vision further, it already demonstrates a maturity in concept and execution. If this collection is an indication of her trajectory, Beatrice Omere is shaping herself into a designer whose work will continue to spark conversation.
Another defining quality of Mosaic is its cohesion. Despite differences in palette and detailing from one piece to another, there is a clear sense of unity across the collection. The repetition of embroidery and beadwork ties the pieces together, while the variation in silhouettes prevents them from blending into one another. This balance allows the collection to feel connected yet still diverse, a sign of thoughtful design direction.

It is safe to say that Mosaic is a collection that demonstrates creativity and precision. It thrives on its use of colour and texture, though at times the emphasis on embellishment pulls focus away from silhouette. Beatrice Omere shows clear talent and vision, and while this work may not suit every taste, it contributes a distinct and confident voice to contemporary fashion.
