Fall/Winter 2013

Expression- Colours: unusual combinations of artistic expression, including “pop colours of vivid violet-blue and fluoro yellow.”

Elements: vivid pastel and fluoro pops of colour. Painterly prints and patterns, haphazard brushstrokes and luminous tones.

Reflective- Colours: bright accents against muted tones. Bright gold and intense turquoise.

Elements: bright, folk-inspired florals with a tough edge.

Elements: modernised Fair Isle knits, florals in earthy colours, graphic prints that take their cues from mountain landscapes and alpine animals.
