White, the summer colour par excellence, combines with different tones of blue in very light cotton fabrics, chambray and jeans. The key garments in this range are dresses and waist-height skirts featuring floral prints, embroidery, frills and lace details.
Another element is- sexy contrast which reveals a clean line in which volumes, such as A-cut skirts, sack forms and kaftan are introduced. Graphic contrasts are highlighted in prints, embroidery and jewels in natural fabrics which add richness to the purest summer lines.
With its romantic and boudoir air, Romantic mood adorns garments with floral motifs and a handmade look. The richness is also provided by the textures and weaves of the fabrics, producing a relaxed and urban silhouette with the introduction of rich tones and natural textures.
Similarly, South seas features a combination of paisleys, mixing patchwork motifs,which give movement to the fluid and sheer silhouettes.
