Shiatzy Chen S/S 2012 Collection

Shiatzy Chen drew inspiration from the chinese snuff bottles of the 17^th century, famous for their bright colours, floral patterns and calligraphy designs. Mixing Chinese craftsmanship with the Western style, especially its 60’s icons, like Audrey Hepburn and Jacqueline Kennedy, Shiatzy created a really special collection for the contemporary woman with vintage and exotic references. The collection is based on geometric silhouettes and elegant three-quarter suits, girly dresses and hot bodysuits in retro-neon colours, Chinese blue, porcelain white and red of the Qing Dyansty lacquerware. The material selection is as luxurious as the style: transluscent glossy organza, satin and flower-print jacquard embroidered with pearls, corals and swarovski crystals. Excellent, beautiful, chic.
