The Collectives - Spring Summer Collection 2013

The collectives has been the talk of the brand lovers for quite a while. As they represented their SS’13 collection, they left no stone un-turned to impress their clientele. From Jacob Cohen’s denim inspiration to Versace Jeans’s signature Greek influence, this store in-houses right from the men’s/women’s staple to something more quirky and experimental….all in the name of a brand by THE COLLECTIVES!

LOVE MOSCHINO

The Spring-Summer’13 collection from Love Moschino displays the key influences for the season perfectly, complete with their distinct vibrancy and playful detailing. Furthermore, the use of exotic themed prints has been adopted in true Moschino style with pineapple and palm tree motifs appearing frequently. When worn with neutral blazers, the look remains refined but pleasantly playful.

Stand out pieces from the collection include the range of 50s inspired printed tees. Taking us into the summer in true Love Moschino style, this collection is bold, bright and hopefully bound to bring us some sunny days.

Range of Women’s luxury handbags, featuring MICHEAL KORS

Designed for woman well-adjusted to fine living, the collection reflects her innate sense of style and penchant for uncompromising quality. Handcrafted and with immaculate workmanship, choose from the label’s day bag options which includes cross body bags, satchels and totes.

VERSACE JEANS

The Versace Jeans SS13 collection features the brand’s signature Greek influence with a modern take. Bright colors dominate the mood of the line with vibrant prints referencing images like the statue of David and The Thinker.

PAUL & JOE

The Paul & Joe Spring/Summer 2013 men’s collection pays homage to the photographer Peter Beard and his passion for Africa.The collection transports us through Africa on an adventure reminiscent of a Kipling novel. In his Jeep the Paul & Joe man takes on the wilderness in a chunky knit cardigan paired with shorts or turned up trousers in light cotton. His silk scarf and poplin shirt add a dandy twist to his attire.

TED BAKER

Schooled in the world of old-fashioned manners and contemporary style, Ted’s SS13 collection misses bright colours and bold prints with simple fabrics and smart silhouettes to teach a fashionable lesson in life.

Ted’s vintage-inspired floral print takes the essence of a French wallpaper design of delicate posies, applied to an iconic dress, and the punchy Summer Bloom print – with unexpected acidic shots of lime and coral – brings 1950s day dresses and cute 1960s cropped canvas jackets right up to date.

ARMANI JEANS
