Fashion is more reticent, more grown-up, dressing instead of disguising is the point. Inspirations are still taken from past epochs; yet a quality thinking and stylistic perfection are prevailing playful details and ornamen-tal decorations. A tendency towards luxury brings along elegant leather and valuable furs. The new clarity prefers a simple and clear styling. The majority of the bag designs is sporting. Clear oblong formats, many practical pockets, robust straps, clasps and metal components are typical for the trendy fashion bags. Decoration is reserved. Ornamental embossings, floral applications, tendrils and passaments, velvet or metallic lustre guarantee an impressing appearance.

Classic Avantgarde : Tradition in new appearance

Inspiration :
Haute Couture of past decades: chic, luxurious and challenging. Business class in a cool but not masculine look. Very British in conservative and traditional appearance.

Checks and tweed of real British inspiration are the answer to a new trend towards conservatism.

Wide circle skirts and border skirts from kneelength to carve-length, romantic blouses, embroidered and fur-trimmed vests, big shawls are all part of a puzzle of the imaginative fashion scene. Folklore attributes are included in the overall appearance and the combination with Jeans render this fashion fit for every day.

Folklore Jacquard patterns, Paisleys and Ornaments, embossed velvet or burnouts, velours leather in lace design, pearls and sequins tone in tone supply imaginative variations.
