SUMMER 2013

Defining the 'latest' in terms of a definite trend seems increasingly obsolete. There's plenty of scope to rework, reinvent and rediscover – but overall it's a season of revival – you could say. "Revival of the fittest!"

Summer 2013 will be a season of lightness and whiteness. Pure shapes, clean fabrics with a dominant role for White and very pale colours. Elegant, feminine and modern ! Colourblocking is still strong for Summer 2013 – Straight forward and bright with an important role for white. The combination of black, white and yellow is inspiring in many ways. By choosing blue, we see a new kind of Delft blue take shape . What truly seduces for Summer 2013 is the most simple and honest offering. Easy, relaxed, sexy and with a real-world appeal.

A message which takes 'delicate' to its limits, with garments that are fragile in both weight and structure. Proportions move up and down, but the key is in creating garments with a lightness of touch, which draw attention to the body beneath. Nothing oversized and nothing too tight, all perfectly easy and straight down the middle. Easy basic items in beautiful cotton-like fabrics for a loose, comfortable silhouette. Clean poplins, chambray and denims. Yes, we know chambray is present in most summer collections, but the light weight cotton fabric has been taken to its limits for next season.
