Furla Spring Summer 2010

 Understated elegance always in step with trends

 In line with the current trends and in tune with its own style, which is understated yet always innovative,  Furla presents a Spring / Summer 2010 accessories collection featuring utterly feminine, sober and refined shapes, characterised by strong colours and a touch of funky yet captivating style. Two themes, Evolve and Imagineer, complete each other to interpret creatively the renewed desire for luxury and optimism of the contemporary woman. 

 

EVOLVE

The perfect lines of Nature, such as the geometry of the hives’ cells, the sinuous and shiny curves of the underwater world and the delicacy of the plant world inspire the Evolve line.

A simple and elegant mood with an oriental touch, for a sensual and elegant woman, in a mix of natural elements with a stroke of summer fun. The materials, from python to gradient vegetal crocodile printed and woven multi-printed calf leathers are soft with a matt effect, enhanced by delicate and warm tones. Tender and light pastel colours, such as petal rose, sand and white cotton, approach intense tones such as aloe and sandalwood. Each detail has a vintage look, with a fine print in bright colours, embellished with satin-finished metal.

Colours: white cotton, coffee, onyx, petal rose, sand, aloe, sandalwood.

Materials: python, gradient vegetal crocodile, vegetal crocodile, woven multi-printed calf leather, Nappa leather, deer and soft vegetal calf leather. 

IMAGINEER

The world of imagination takes off, developing a surreal mood influenced by the universe of dreams, in a metamorphosis between past and present.

The Imagineer woman is whimsical yet sophisticated, a woman who likes to have fun with retro-futuristic combinations, matching a touch of 80’s style with a modern twist for a Pop, cheerful and colourful look. The dazzling colours contrast, characteristic of a bright summer style, start from a dusty light palette with vetiver and white tones, to tap the vibrant colours of plants, such as mimosa yellow, patchouli orange and red cherry, with a fluorescent touch, hot and cold at the same time.  The materials play on daring prints, such as coral python and striped straw, with small funky details such as creative pockets and zips, to provide the active woman a practical yet stylish fashion accessory. 

Colours: mimosa yellow, patchouli orange, red cherry, vetiver, white, onyx.

Materials: coral python, striped straw, shaded-off ayers reptile, metallic Nappa leather, polished croc, deer, soft vegetal calf leather, synthetic patent.

 

 

Furla footwear collection revels in peppy contrasts and eye-catching colours

A collection of unprecedented contrasts and clever graphic designs, and as ever, the epitome of youthful elegance and sophistication. The Max Kibardin Spring-Summer 2010 footwear collection is a further case of the contemporary classic style that Furla has always embraced and updated continuously with innovative new takes on style and design.

 The Russian-born designer, who gained much acclaim at the Furla Talent Hub, focused his creative talents on two details: studs and bows. They may seem worlds apart but when they become the object of such an inspired mind, they put the style into statement shoes, making them ideal for modern women who are increasingly more open to new ideas and audacious combinations.

Studs are added where embroidered decorations might have gone, and the recurring geometrically-cut bows create an elegant futuristic feel. Kibardin’s shoes are extremely feminine and reveal a myriad of colours and interesting combinations of materials in the same shoe. 

The collection features soft nappa,  patent leather or suede pumps made using the slip-lasting technique;  ultra-flat “Capri” sandals and unlined boots in light suede and perforated nappa; and statement, engineered heels presenting a new take on low-cut courts. Among the real showstoppers, however, are the coloured rubber pumps and flip flops featuring mini-studs and python inserts.

 

In the Philippines, Furla is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Greenbelt 5, Rustan’s Makati, and Shangri-La Plaza Mall.
