Levi’s Fall-Holiday 2011 Collection

A fashion show featuring Levi’s Fall-Holiday 2011 Collection was also held. The collection focuses on craftsmanship and innovation in jeans with its new styles and trends. It utilises the breakthrough Levi’s Curve ID system that is based on the woman’s shape instead of size, as well as Levi’s Waterless jeans that use 28% less water on the average and up to 96% less water in creating the wash or finish of the jeans.

Mango’s Fall-Winter 2011 Collection showcases a number of looks inspired by the usual style pegs from events and special occasions, mostly tinged in shades of black, grey, red, white and beige.

With the combination of daytime and eveningwear elements, Mango pays tribute to classic French women’s wardrobe – particularly the timeless contrasts of masculine/feminine pieces.

Fabrics used are predominantly in wool, denim and boucle. Others are in lace and sheer fabrics which evoke a romantic mood.

Most of these effortlessly chic ensembles are embellished with Swarovski crystals, sequins and feathers. Some are texturised with angora and fur, whilst others presented animal print patchwork and irregular polka dots (on very fluid shapes) – bringing out a more sophisticated and seductive silhouette.

MANGO has chosen Brazilian supermodel Isabeli Fontana as the new face of the brand for its Fall 2011 campaign.

The photo shoot took place in Paris. Her stills were captured by renowned photographer Terry Richardson.

Isabel’s strong, provocative features embody that of an urban, independent working woman; which reminds me of Stana Katic’s Kate Beckett role in Castle.

The outfits reveal a sexy woman who is able to combine her masculine and feminine side to perfection. The colour palette focuses on black tones with white touches in the prints.

She’ll be replacing Scarlett Johansson, who’s been the image of the Spanish retailer for the past four seasons.
