Liu Jo Spring Summer 2011

New Sport Luxury - The inspiration derives from the search for materials recalling the world of sports but rigorously reinterpreted from a hyper-feminine perspective: coupled fabrics, technical cotton, plush and nylon are made gentler by sophisticated cuts and design, in addition to overtly sporty details such as drawstrings and rope applications. Volumes become softer and relaxed. Thus, new outfits emerge composed of easy items mixed with very luxury items dominated by sequins, stones, rhinestone and crystals of various shapes and sizes. The most significant outfits include a raincoat in technical fabric combined with items very rich in details for a daily look with an important personality. Must-have items derive from a mix of different fabrics and materials, leading to unusual and surprising combinations. A new plush derives from coupled jersey, aged hemp tencel become extraordinarily soft and treated cotton becomes as soft as butter. Joyful frills and gold characterize details searching for eclectic mixes. Knitwear mainly includes cardigans made of viscose/lurex, viscose/lines, cotton and printed viscose, enriched by knitted belts or belts in eco-leather or cloth, i.e. a necessary stylistic detail. The most important details of the theme include: large sizes, marquetry patterns and overlapping lace with clashing tones, rhinestone applications, brooches and embroideries. Knitted items are characterized by perforated and transparent effects letting sexy slip dresses see through. It is a sporty style that does not renounce elegance in any situation, mainly in terms of the selection of the most sophisticated colors such as turtle-dove, February, cinnamon, shell beige, medium grey, mixing with brighter colors such as ocean green, pastel turquoise and Caribbean sea.
City Underwear - Fashion evolves spontaneously by following the pace of the city and, thanks to a new and sexy game, leads lingerie to develop a perfect style to be exhibited night and day. Underwear emerges and becomes a surprising protagonist joyfully peeking through light fabrics such as cotton, linen and washed silk, whereas the typical cuts and designs of lingerie are applied to the main items. The corset dress is the must-have protagonist of the summer collection. One detail is enough to create a feminine and intriguing look and conquer the city: nostalgic cues, seducing laces and light slip dresses are worn like dresses. Soft or structured jackets are combined with high-waist trousers witch cue effects or relaxed models with drawstrings around the waist. Other items include overalls, gowns and t-shirts with soft volumes. The materials used are cotton, light and stretch linen, washed silk, glossy viscose and ramie with cupro finishing.
