The autumn winter 2008 Jens Laugesen woman fulfils many different styles. She plays the elegance card in pleated suits, high waisted trousers and Chinese collared jackets with over-exaggerated shoulders or a rock’n’roll edge in a frilled skirt and bolero leather jacket. A two coloured collection where Prussian blue and sky blue fabrics sit next to black. For this season, the designer dresses women in a new luxurious silk and makes the shoulders shine with Swarovski.
Ralph Lauren celebrated 40 years in fashion in 2007 and over the years his style has always remained unchangeable and unique. The show opens with sensible-looking grey flannel outfits and feather hats before leopard print emerges either head-to-toe as a tunic dress or as details on jacket shoulders. Bright orange and purple are two strong colours for next winter, appearing here as a cashmere coat and a full-collared jacket. The country influence is never far away with an inimitable expertise in tartan materials. The lumberjack shirt is worn with a conventional looking pencil skirt while an ethnic patterned overcoat engulfs a slender silhouette and for the evening asymmetrical chiffon and velvet wraparound dresses embroidered with gold thread and feathers look sensational.
