Nicole Farhi’s spring/summer 2009 show was scheduled to take place at 10.30am on Tuesday, September 16 and it was great!
Nicole Farhi was inspired by French Impressionist Claude Monet for her new Spring/Summer 2009 collection launched at London Fashion Week.
A lot of items, including belts, dresses, shorts, skirts and bras was drown from Monet, the French artist who died in 1926.
The clothes had bright and light color feel. A number of striped outfits and variety on the usual striped Navy sweaters were presented on the catwalk.
Designer Nicole Farhi was one of the first British designers to persist on the vogue of linear florals we saw arise at New York Fashion Week. She does it just great.
The outfits’ hemlines were longer and below the knee. Shapes resembled the earlier decades of the Twenties Century. Some tweaking of the silhouette and prints contained things present-day and chic.
Many of the footwear also had unique flower motifs giving dresses the view of a pastoral watercolour painting.
There was a monotonous look to the show, with most of the models wearing their hair pulled back, light make up and lipstick. And one model accessoried her look with a large “Obama for President” button.
There was an exact British seaside look going, no American maritime style prevailing.
I looove this collection. It’s so great!!!
