Irene Luft collection to be featured at MB Fashion Week

As the title “Summer Melancholy” depicts, the Collection is an allegory of a conflict. Heavy decorating elements that are almost overbearing on the one hand, light and flattering materials on the other hand, determine the Collection. It is the embodiment of the heaviness of melancholy, but it is also significantly overlayered by hope and anticipation of an early summer morning.

The colors express a balmy summerday from a gentle gold of a rising sun to a dark blue after sunset, whereas the materiality frequently is in contrast to the expected chromaticity.

The applied Lace of Plauen “Plauener Spitze” becomes both, an opressive decorative element as well as a light and transparent feature due to the outstanding Madeira yarn. The contradiction of a Summer Melancholy is also expressed by combining delicate cool silk and warming cashmere, where lace presents itself as the merging material.

This collection will be previewed at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week being held in Berlin.
