The Spring Summer <strong>2017</strong> Collection embraces a<br />

carefree, bohemian direction<br />

This spring summer <strong>2017</strong> collection embraces a carefree, bohemian direction with<br />

an enchanting vision of fresh blooms, delicate hues and fluid shapes.<br />

Recalling imperial Suzhou gardens, romantic Wisteria or Chinese blossoms cascade<br />

along outfits – either a breezy summer shift, light poly-silk parka or a dramatic long<br />

silk gown. Inspiring peace and serenity, this collection is light in touch so features<br />

delicate sheers, wispy silk, lace and fabrics like peony jacquard and chrysanthemum<br />

cloque. Even pieces like the palm jacquard cotton knit coat, pullovers and parkas are<br />

kept summery through airy construction.<br />

Punchy floral accents and 3D wild flower embellishments adorn corners of simple<br />

separates or on the back of a qipao where intricate detailing compliments the fresh<br />

shape of the range.<br />

Select pieces are inspired by fine Chinese ceramics – a translucent mint green<br />

porcelain is taken from the distinctive glaze of Celadon vases – highly valued in<br />

Chinese Imperial courts. Then antique Wedgewood ceramic patterns influence a<br />

range of colour contrast prints.<br />
