FRANZIUS

"Fluid loss" autumn winter 2011 2012 The name of the FRANZIUS winter collection gets its name from one of our global raw materials, water. Soft, fluid fabrics made out of silk are draped in soft waves (silk dresses and tops), broken up by heavy wool, which float like ice blocks in water (drape jackets and coats). In addition, the collection would like to draw attention to our changing environment, safe water! One way for fashion to contribute to sustainability and fair trade - an entire collection is made in Germany. High quality classics which last beyond the seasons.
