Fallen Angel

This spring, play the Fallen Angel in a look that is clean, sharp, cool, modern, aloof and fake. It is an urban glamour look which is blatantly anti-retro and anti-waif for the good girl/bad girl assertive woman who wants slick and uncluttered casual wear. These clothes are at home on the street or in a club.

Smart tailored casuals show 'attitude' with a modern and synthetic look of high gloss fabrics. Pared-down sportswear such as micro-tunics, mini-dresses, hipster shorts and A-line mini-skirts worn with long,lean drape jackets are essential items to this look. The Fallen Angel look is in essence a streamlined and clean-cut silhouette.

Even more modern than the look are the fabrics that are used. The body is outlined with new sports stretch and jersey materials. All is not what it seems with the use of ultra lightweight iridescent weaves, microfibres, elctro-plated and light-sensitive chameleon fabrics. Prints are abstracts in smooth soft shapes, or slogan graphics playing on typographical effects. Chemical treatment makes synthetics light-reflective with touch-sensitive surfaces.

Colours for Spring are clean and modern combining a scientific approach with gel-like tints and metallics taking the place of neutrals.
