Summer 2003
Porcelain in new shapes
The vintage style has been in the big melting pot
– you feel a breeze from bygone days –
the old porcelain motifs and the underwear look
are blended to create a new era in Part Two's summer
2003 collection.
Light, swirly fabrics with discreet structures or
finished surfaces are combined in bright colour
schemes. Semitransparent fabrics with printed surfaces,
embroidered or delicate quilting give a three-dimensional
effect. Loose, open textures can be found in both
woven piece-goods and in jersey and knitwear. Raised
and broken-line prints call to mind Chinese porcelain,
hand-painted floral motifs, antique trimming, real
lace and crocheted borders.
The collection is characterised by lightness and
simplicity. Simple fastenings, asymmetric lines
and borders complete the style together with fine
details and surprising effects inspired by old-fashioned
underwear. The layered look manufactured in fine
qualities. Gatherings and tucks are combined in
loose tops featuring wrap-around effects with tie
fastenings or straps to wrap around your body.
Antique Boheme gives the collection a touch of nostalgia.
Jacquard trimmings on sleeves, crocheted top and
skirt with beautiful scallops, folklore blouses
in blue tones with porcelain motifs are finished
with Lurex in the most spectacular way. Ticking-striped
shirts create an exciting vintage look together
with waistcoats with attractive gold prints on worn
denim.
Light, happy summer colours inspired by the sky,
sea and flowers based on soft pastels such as rose,
white, charcoal grey, mocha, beige and pistachio
with a splash of pink, tomato red and azure. The
shades should be set against each other to create
a bold contrast of the dark colours against the
light ones.
The accessories are a must, and this time they have
been given a western twist. Saddlebags with fringes,
braided belts with seashells or turquoises, western
belts with embossing, burnt edges or raw surfaces.
A spectacular collection with a wealth of mix and
match opportunities.
