Original, colorful and iconic, the Leitmotiv for Furla Talent Hub collection draws inspiration from the fascinating, mysterious world of tarot cards celebrating – with the originality characteristic of the two young designers – the world of fortune-telling and magic, in a playful rather than esoteric sense.
It is a surreal, fun collection, but also one rich in poetry, created for Autumn Winter 2011-2012 and continued for Spring Summer 2012; closing a circle that is rich in symbols and allegories.
The subjects of the prints and designs are the ace of cups – a symbol of harmony, sincerity and joy – and the horseman, who represents intelligence, dynamism and courage. The ancestral meanings of the two cards come to life on textiles and materials that are hi-tech, transparent and with a ceramic effect, or on glossy, sumptuous, refined satin.
The bags are light and roomy for daytime, with clean lines and functional details, such as the long zippers that allow for easy, immediate use. The evening, meanwhile, sees the return of elegant, precious materials with a retro touch. The insertion of small card-charms, the season’s genuine good-luck charms, adds a touch of fun.
Completing the collection are scarves made from soft, coloured materials with prints of the same theme.
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.
