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.

Marc Jacobs moves away from his previous year’s 80’s-inspired collection to a more subdued, conservative look for his diffusion line Marc by Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2010 collection. With an array of casual chromatic pieces, the fashion forward designer caters to stylish students at the same time maintaining his seat as the leading trendsetter. With the fashionable workaholics in mind, Jacobs put his mark on the ever-comfortable jersey material, versatile cottons, and even experiments with crochet thread for the Bronte Lace top which ended up as the most coveted piece by notable fashion magazine editors.
The most romantic piece amongst the “army surplus” garb stood out to balance the other-wise somber toned collection that included olive green twill shorts, black satin pants, and shadow grey wool sweaters. Editors also saluted the Reilly Heringbone set as commander of the military inspired collection seeing that it was perfect for the working woman. Overall, this well-received collection was commended for its versatility and “wearability” being that it presented a wide range of casual and formal items such as trousers, button downs, and outerwear. The structured silhouettes and geek chic vintage styles carry a certain “timelessness and enduring” quality that will be popular among today’s youthful urbanites.

Exude cosmopolitan living with the Autumn-Winter collection of Springfield
This season, men are in for diverse clothing that stays true to the theme of relaxed casual while the women go back to the 90’s with silhouettes and tough chic look with a feminine touch.
Springfield Man comes in three very different styles, all inspired by active lifestyle. Sport the free spirit of Route 66 from Beatniks, and take cues from On the Road by Jack Kerouac (Beat Generation’s staple reading), with the Free Rider collection. Wear designs inspired by American folk music, shirts in stripes, and trousers in washed vintage tones made comfortable to quench your thirst for adventure. Show an air of mystery with the Beat Thrill collection. Slim silhouettes, dark colors, and technical fabrics dominate this urban collection, noting every piece down to its details. New Varsity is college style with a twist. Varsity jackets, polo shirts, rugby and Oxford shirts and trousers rule this university-inspired collection that reflects an air of optimism, youth and sports with the legendary school colors of blue, red and green.
The Springfield Woman collection highlights the feminine look in two different ways. Ladies go back to the grunge style reminiscent of the year 1990 with the Nearly 90’s collection. Remember the good old days of laidback, casual clothing with skinny pants, bermudas, and boyfriend shorts paired with boxy or tight tops. Make your waist the center of attraction with flower prints on dark bases and styling that shouts “let’s rock!” with black tights matched with rock and roll shoes. Bring back distressed jeans and acid washed garments of the 90’s with a more feminine flair in this collection. Don the staple French fashion editor’s outfits with pieces from the Classic Rebel collection. Classic items juxtaposed with “biker chic”-inspired garments dominate this new mixture of style. Laces and bows look tougher amidst denims, blacks, whites and greys in this collection.
Wear your lifestyle with Springfield’s Autumn-Winter 2010 collection and satisfy your taste for sophisticated, everyday fashion.
In the Philippines, Springfield is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Rustan’s Makati, Greenbelt 3, Rockwell, Bonifacio High Street, Megamall, Trinoma, Malate Pedro Gil Wing, and Cebu.
