Autumn/ Winter 2011
Chic, Charm and a Sense of Security
The comfortable SEM PER LEI styles for Autumn and Winter are soft and sporty. Cashmere, fine-feed knits and printed merino wool underline the value statement. Styles with more volume such as capes, tippets and ponchos are playfully combined with slim fits. Making for an exquisite combination are exclusive silk, satin and jersey prints. Natural colours such as greige, beige and grey comfortingly harmonise with off-white. Discreetly placed yet attention-grabbing: red flashes.
Three colour themes determine the looks for Autumn and Winter. Commenting on this Head of Design Sabine Lohèl says: “Nesting, lounging and well-being are the messages conveyed by SEM PER LEI. Knitted sex-appeal is fused with pleasant wear properties. Thick cable stitching contrasts with fine-gauge knit. Decorative highlights include lace and fur trims.”
The Lounging theme is a perfect blend of casualness and elegance. Sporty loose knits range from Norwegian patterns in supple hues to feminine silhouettes. Nothing but elegant: knitted dresses with a chain intarsia print. Little fur jackets turn into attractive “heat insulators”. Even double-breasted outdoor nylon jackets protect against the cold while still cutting a fine figure. Soft, light and cuddly: In the Nesting theme comfy looks featuring sophisticated styles in all conceivable grey shades are up and coming. “Animalistic” intarsia knits that place giant tiger heads and zebra backs on garments and reptile prints on jersey and cashmere blends are the eye-catchers. Silk features horse riding motifs. Tailored jackets serve as variable partners for top-pleat trousers, bootcut pants or even short lace skirts. Black & white stripes à la française are decorated with navy symbols or generous lace appliqués. Just a touch of knit: shoe string dress with lace appliqué and lace print and matching long jacket. Glamour and thrills are the buzzwords for the Clubbing theme that presents unpretentious looks for the evening. Glamour comes care of diamanté decorations while excitement is guaranteed by a jersey dress in red leopard material as a flattering body shaper.
