Tropical Exotica |

||
| For this Spring/Summer 2010, we see dramatic floral prints, vibrant botanical camouflage and eclectic prints mixing playfully together, making it one of the brightest and most glamorous seasons in a while. The key colour palette includes jade, orange, yellow and fuchsia, with jewelled and beaded accessories. | ||
New Femininity |
||

||
| Ruffles, plissé and ruching are layered to give definition. Primed with pretty edginess, this is the New Femininity movement of Spring/Summer 2010. This ‘soft femme’ mood in silk and chiffons is nurtured in natural hues of nude, white, cream and sand, with hints of blush. | ||
Nomad Traveller |
||

||
| The new season’s Nomad Traveller treks down the runway in her ethnic-inspired wardrobe, with bold worldly wisdom and down-to-earth womanly charm. From North African deserts to the souks of Morocco, dress for a voyage in striking nomadic style. Go head-to-toe with a monochromatic palette or offset the look with subtle prints, draped in mystique and layered with intrigue. | ||
Urban Athleticism |
||

||
| The fusion of sport with luxury has beautifully sculpted a modern look of urban athleticism. Energetic new generation designers have championed the stretchy, the slouchy, the seamed and the slashed to create a sleek city style for the go-getting. The fit is tight, the look is strong and the attitude is fierce. Celebrate body-consciousness and unabashed exhibitionism with the pseudo-athletic aesthetic. | ||
