The Furla Autumn Winter 2010-2011 collection is for an elegant and worldly woman. She’s an explorer, escaping from everyday life to exotic lands. She develops an emotional attachment, virtual memories of her travels.
Every detail becomes a tile in the mosaic of her mind. From the leopard print coat, to the reptile skin, to the colors of the stones and butterflies, the delicate tanning of leather, and the weaving in the upholstery fabric.
The new collection is comprised of illusions; repetitive digital techniques that create patterns or new surfaces.
In the early 1900’s, one of the great explorers, Freya Stark, sported zippered bags. These elegant silhouettes and feminine forms of yesteryear are transformed in the new collection, updated to be lightweight and functional. Moreover, her old travelling trunks were outlined by a cloth cover. This inspired Furla’s collection to include exterior layers. It’s a decorative and bold look. The virtual safari illuminates. Fluorescent flashes highlight the natural beauty of the deep and intense jewel tones.
Colours: onyx black, sand, clay brown, filler grey, musk green, red earth.
Materials: velvet effect calf leather, crocodile printed buffalo leather, Himalayan leopard printed pony skin, astrakhan.
A new elegance with a contemporary approach presents femininity as lived day by day with irony and cheerfulness.
Elegant silhouettes and feminine shapes designed to be both functional and stylish, plus ease and comfort have inspired Furla’s new shoe collection for autumn/winter 2010-2011.
Understated styles with sophisticated and classic shapes play on cuts and lengths while rubber bands give a modern edge to the shoes.
A casual-chic interpretation is obtained by the use of particular and gritty leathers like velvet effect calf leather, soft nappa leather, Himalayan leopard printed calfskin suede, crust leather and deer printed calfskin.
Sporty models are re-shaped in a sophisticated and feminine way. A tank sole characterizes boots, sandals to wear with stockings and booties in crust leather or deer. Details and astrakhan turn-ups on boots give a touch of frivolity.
Warm colours of the autumn permeate the whole collection and create a metropolitan look with echoes of emotions and memories of remote journeys.
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.
