With its all-new Spring/Summer 2009 collection, luxury fashion brand Escada celebrates a return to glamour and haute couture. Clothes are festooned with color, paired with beautiful pieces packed with glittery, glamorous details: feminine, swirling skirts; lambent jewel tones; chunky, multicolored jewelry; and unabashed high style. A black goddess gown hugs the body closely and pulls the eyes up toward a striking bodice in white and orange, elaborately beaded in Aztec motifs. A crisply tailored white skirt suit achieves fashion nirvana with the addition of a golden belt with an oversized flower buckle in semi-precious stones. An elaborately embroidered toreador shirt brings the contrast of white and red together against the backdrop of olive-green, softly flowing pants. |
Also included in this collection is an outstanding group of beautiful dresses. Unconventional colors such as deep aubergine, baby pink, shimmering taupe, and bright fuchsia predominate, matched to slender, softly-flowing silhouettes. The cream of the formals is a ball gown with a structured bodice in pink over billowing black skirts, again spiced up with the reds and yellows of tribal beading. The Escada Spring/Summer 2009 collection is now available at its outlets, Greenbelt 5 in Makati City and at the 3rd level of Shangri-la Plaza Mall in Mandaluyong City. |
