Memory Lane
Walking down memory lane, enjoying childhood memories, looking at old photos and postcards, almost forgotten and yellow with age. A look inspired by the 50's and 80's. Colors inspired from old photographs, milk and honey and grandma's old jars with preserves. . . warm neutrals in combination with soft pastels.
Country Fair
A sweet and rural country mood, lazy summer days perfect for picnics and garden parties. Casual farmers wear mixed with 70's hippie boho, happy summer days, mix and match. . . Bright and delicate colors from flowerbeds, grass fields and the blue sky.
The Collectors
Collecting and gathering ideas and inspiration from art and crafts. . . A global breeze from all continents. . . Colors are deep and intense, active and beautiful, subtle red tones create new contradictions with yellow and browns. Prints are large exotic flowers, batik, rustic squares, micro patterns and black stripes.
Urban Landscapes
A return to the 80's? Not just so, the inspiration is certainly there, but it is not retro. The future is here in this clean story. . . An exclusive metropolitan look with an avant-garde touch from origami and pleats. Materials are smooth and shiny, soft and dry. Paper touch and soft fluid fabrics. Lightweight knits. Beautiful and elegant tone-on-tone harmonies.
As for autumn/winter 2010, well, take a walk through your local forest!
