Paradise Revisited s/s 2012
Colour explosion, space coral prints and embroideries define Noir&Blanc´s collection Paradise revisited for sring/summer 2012. This time focus is on details and eclectic colourful elements.
Wild Animals and nature was the starting point for the collection.
The inspiration source has lead to the inclusion of material mix and bright floral colors that now exist within the collection as a uniformed aesthetic, allowing the overall look to be an opposing mix
Clean white, sharp black and neoncolours creates the perfect summer coulourpalette. Orange treads that looks like visable seams holding the garnments together.
Positive vibes, animal embroideries and pierced leather makes this collection feel like a playful jungle as always combined with a lot of masculine influences both in material and cuts.
This collection is a very wide and attractive source of creative experiments. Although the inspiration source gave us a unique opportunity to combine a variety of textures, to search for new forms and silhouettes. It was essential to emphasize the importance of contrariety - vibrant prints inspired by coralreefs, space and colour explosions, together with traditional teqniques, undersized shapes versus lightness.
Craft is center in this collection where we have put a lot of focus on quality and traditional teqniques. For the first time introducing Handmade embroidery as part of the collection to make it more outstanding and exclusive.
In Noir&Blanc’s collection every single item is a key piece on its own, designed to become a timeless favourite, not subject to seasons and trends.
