“Pleasure
gorged on the sun and freshness you’ll want from Spring / Summer 2011. On the
one hand, the exotic: exuberant nature inspired by Gauguin, luxuriant foliage
and cat-like beachwear motifs. On the other hand, the desert: a landscape of
sand, primitive embroideries, Berber stripes, beautiful laces patinated by the
years, ikats and metal accents.”
(InStyle.com)
The
emphasis seems to be on non-conformity, ample shapes, dry knits, charming
linens and cottons. It’s not a question of being good or reasonable, but the
passion colours evoke, the explosions of prints, geometrical accents, Indian
flowers, folk music kitsch, cartoon influences and the naive primitives that
all mix create a wild patchwork of fashion. A liberated celebration of all that
everyday life is about. Amusing creativity, beachwear influences, mixes of
ethnic and otherworld, ardour and femininity, the whole trend being based on
strong lines.
An
atmosphere heavily loaded with, memories but reinvented by using, technical
innovations. To maintain the feeling of softness and a nostalgia of charm,
there are sophisticated constructions, digital prints, placed jacquards,
audacious accents, and subtle featherweight effects, silks, fine cottons,
blends. Then there are the refined, luxury lines of coordinates made to last:
it’s the triumphant return of the camisole, bodices, teddies: all expressions
of what has been described as ‘eternal sophistication’.

WHY DRESS UP?
Because LIFE is too short to blend in…
DENIM SHORTS
My all-time favourite summer clothing
item is short denim shorts…
Maybe its because I grew up at the
coast.
Maybe its because they appeal to very
humid conditions.
Maybe its because you can work them
with all stars, slops or heels.
Maybe its because they are timeless
in a casual kinda way.
Whatever the reason… they are my
must-have summer addiction.
Some suggestions for an
oh-so-trendy-denim-shorts look
Whatever the prediction for 2011’s
Summer trend, fashion or style I think it’s mostly about allowing what really
matters to be made clearer.
Not everything we want is accessible.
Not everything
we want is affordable.
Don’t compare yourself to the stereotypical red carpet glamour girl.
Don’t live for fickle fashion.
Make what you have work best and get ready to celebrate summer.
A
life without love is like a year without summer.
