CIFF Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 Fashion & Color Trends

Water leaves its trace on architecture and soaks it in poetry. Moving, fluid metamorphoses create the illusion. An intriguing, aquatic universe, conducive to charm, all sorts of metamorphoses or mutations and expressing the deep desire for a poetic, re-enchanted everyday.

Colors
A precious range inspired by the brilliance of raw gemstones. Baroque pearls, amethysts, tinted quartz.

Beauty
