SISLEY Autumn/Winter 2011/2012 Women`s collection

HIGHLANDS FOLK
The Highlands, often a source of inspiration, allow the Sisley collection to recreate the magnificent, mysterious atmosphere of Scotland. Tartans in tones of red and black become dresses, trousers and skirts. Faux fur waistcoats and jackets add a folk touch. The main colour is black, seen throughout the theme. The lines follow the curves of the body to give a comfortable fit.

TWIGGY ROCK
This capsule collection takes everything that Swinging London taught us in the famous Sixties and gives it an updated twist. The "A" line is the main feature of a collection for outerwear, dresses and skirts, together with a closer fit in trousers. Colour jumps out from the strong contrasts of patterned fabrics and from the stripes of jersey or knits. We shouldn`t underestimate the comeback of colour blocking for a season that really rocks.

50 YEARS
The body and its curves could be the subheading for this theme in which the elegance and class typical of the Fifties is the main feature. The attention focuses on the waist, which is often emphasised through stitching, draping or belts. Dresses and skirts in fluid textiles team with very femininely-styled outerwear. The palette is composed of delicate shades of green, mauve, powder blush and pink.

CITY GLAM
Living the city life day and night in all its aspects, from the formal to the funkiest. The technical-look outerwear is destined for rather more urban solutions and is teamed with blouses rich in colour contrasts. Borrowing from the male wardrobe is allowed, of course, if it`s trousers or jackets. A sporty look is reserved for all the fleece articles: special washes give tracksuits or dresses a more laid-back look. Clothes with a shiny effect and a figure-hugging silhouette are designed especially for night life, evoking Studio 54 atmospheres.
