Façonnable’s S/S09 collection upgrades the classics
Modern elegance matches the season’s laid-back mood 
Façonnable, the well-loved fashion brand inspired by the French Riviera, adds a dash of luxurious elegance to the warmer months in the UAE with the arrival of its spring/summer 2009 collection.
This season, the stylish gentleman is spoilt for choice with a range of clothes that have a classic masculine appeal. These include the timeless striped shirt and a pair of comfortable linen trousers. Traditional corporate attire takes on a more cutting-edge appeal when it comes in the form of upgraded investment pieces such as the ever-reliable blue shirt and a pair of dark blue trousers that accentuate a trim physique. 
Other intriguing pieces in Façonnable’s SS09 menswear are sharply tailored suits in white, brown and black; swanky leather jackets; and beach-worthy Bermuda shorts. A red polo shirt, a pair of green cotton trousers, and a pink jacket are some of the elements that add a shot of surprising colour to the season’s casual apparel.
For the fashionable lady, one essential item is the classic button-down cotton shirt in refreshing white, which works best when paired with relaxed linen trousers in the palest shade of beige. The tank top, an all-time summer favourite, is reinvented in the form of a slightly loose-fitting number that gathers at the hip. Crisp white cotton trousers complete the look of total sophistication, which is at the same time effortless and energetic.
The trend factor is very much visible in covetable pieces such as a skirt with floral prints, a striped grey pantsuit, khaki jodhpurs, and a pair of wide-legged pants.
Façonnable pays close attention to details, so it fills the wardrobe of its customers with finely crafted accessories such as ties, bags, belts, shoes and sandals. Beyond creating high-quality clothes and accessories, the French brand conveys an exciting message about the meaning of leisure and the beauty of authentic style.   
Façonnable’s spring/summer 2009 advertising campaign features sought-after models Morgane Dubled and Larry Scott wearing the season’s wonderfully laid-back outfits. The campaign was shot in Bastille, Paris by supermodel-turned-photographer Helena Christensen.
The S/S 2009 collection is now available at Façonnable boutiques at the Mall of the Emirates and The Dubai Mall, and at all Rodeo Drive boutiques in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
