Monday October 1, 2012 – Opera Garnier
Graphic and layered, the collection plays with geometry in fresh and optimistic colours.Elliptical shapes of white, bright orange and black flow on sheer linear dresses. Ultra-fine silk rib knits worn under micro-plisse skim the body, creating shadows in movement.Spearmint and paper white gauze knit is effortless. Sleeveless and belted summer tweed in forest green brings the utility of outerwear onto feminine and delicate columns.
Skin is subtly revealed in crisp white twill sharp cut shoulders, boned cotton bustiers and asymmetrical pique wrap dresses and skirts. Tailoring is tapered, touching the hips, defined by boxed-in jackets and paired with cropped sleeves and trousers. Print plays on scale in deep green on fluid crepe de chine. Circular cuts add a twist to traditional patterns.
Diamond cut work embroidery in white and black silk organzas are contrasted with masculine shapes to define the understated sexiness of the collection.
Silk organza, cut on the bias for evening, is embroidered in circular shapes of abstract print or bold colors to contour the body and reveal fleeting glimpses of shadows and transparency.
Utility bags with wide long straps. Floating Lucite platform wedges in scuba or organic cotton are in a mix of vivid colors. Oversize sunglasses echo the spirit of the collection. Clutches are in giant gem shapes, or clear Lucite, trapping the dotted print.
