Bangkok--5 Feb--Maxima Consultants
Karen Millen from England introduces bold colour fashion together with an exuberant mix of separates define the mood of Karen Millen spring/ summer 2009 collections. Safari styling is given a seductive spin with sleek pieces and vibrant accessories while an hourglass silhouette is echoed throughout with curvy jackets, fitted dresses and decorative belts. The new collection is now available at Siam Paragon, Siam Discovery, Central Chidlom and Emporium.
Psychedelic Safari
Seventies classics collide with maximalism this spring as sophisticated shapes are reworked in rich colours and combined with clashing accessories. Sexy silk blouses in chartreuse, tangerine and khaki are given an urban safari feel with patch pockets while a beige silk voile and black tweed dress is a lighter take on the trend. Lush tropical prints and accessories including bright lime wedges and animal print tassel bags and sandals add a shot of rich pattern and texture.
Luxe Sportswear
Fluid fabrics and body-con silhouettes draw on Eighties sportswear. Form-fitting cotton shifts are defined with graphic colour blocks in khaki and lime while tailoring includes the essential cap-sleeved fitted jacket and strong-shouldered white tuxedo. Structured pieces are contrasted with soft silk cargo trousers, jersey dhoti pants and sleek knitted shell tops with peekaboo cut-outs. Jumpsuits in mushroom or khaki silk give the all-in-one a new elegance while plush washed leather jackets in purple or lime are the season’s perfect statement piece.
Cocktail Colour
Vibrant colour dominates eveningwear from panelled satin shifts in jade and royal blue or geranium and magenta to a paper lantern dress in hot pink silk crepe de chine. Intricate construction and details are key; a chartreuse silk dress is finished with an ornate origami hem while gowns are topped with oversized ribbon corsages and ruffled petals. Sleeker dresses are decorated with panels of chunky multi-coloured jewels.
Accessories
Play it up for spring with a wristful of animal print and jewelled cuffs and vertiginous platform sandals in snakeskin and animal print. Glossy totes come in primary coloured patent leathers or tropical prints while shoulder bags are studded and fringed or trimmed with colourful python straps and decorative tassels. Strappy sandals are printed with tribal patterns or kept sleek and simple with punched suede courts.
