Spirit of the Season
FASHION TIME is 4 styles of your life in color and materials.
4 Fashion moments which take an optimistic approach to the trends for Autumn/Winter 2012/2013.
Time to act, have fun, dream, seduce and delight in each moment, and enjoy the marvelous originality of fashion!
Colors & Textures
Color is more than ever the key element in the coming season.
It optimizes the evolution of our style… every moment of the day.
Vivid colors, alone or teamed up with others, are the stars of the season.
Neutrals and naturals evolve, taking a sophisticated, romantic and glamorous turn.
And as a contrast, subtle chiaroscuro effects, in which shadows glorify the light.
Materials are sublimated: luxury, quality, airiness and voluptuousness have pride of place.
New, sophisticated textures, with clever effects.
Finishings and trims in metal, copper, delicate gold, platinum or color brighten up matt materials.
Sumptuous textures.
3D effects and other innovative finishings transcend the classical looks in an exciting modern way. |
