Your style…
camilla and marc’s ‘no time like the present’ fall ‘08 collection has been based on soft and feminine ideals reinterpreted for the modern woman. At first glance, the collection appears deceivingly structured and masculine however the timelessness femininity becomes apparent through silhouette and fabrication.
This season's highlights
Strong and punchy colours are used throughout the collection, tangerine, fuchsia, and flashes of cobalt. These are paired back with muted hues of dove, silver/charcoal and black. The use of structured silk organza’s and faille’s combined with soft felted cashmere wools and cascading satins emphasis the contradiction between the structured and womanly forms.
Two favourite things about winter?
Being able to layer up garments, the cold weather allows one to play around with shapes and silhouettes.
And going to the movies…always a winter favourite.
Something you absolutely can't live without…
Structured coats – we reinvent our wool/cashmere trench coat every season. This winter, it’s available in a beautiful winter white with gold clasps.
