LIST redefines the elements of this season with versatility
LIST Fall/Winter 2009/2010 Collection
LIST Fall/winter 2009/2010 collection expresses the most attractive trends of the season: soft feminine knitwear layered on jersey or knit dresses with leggings and equestrian-style pants, completed with sensual suede coats and matching accessories. This season LIST proposes a richly layered look that de-emphasizes the classical jacket-pants set, and focuses on a trendy, versatile and easy-to-wear composition that is young, feminine and sophisticated.
Collection: Knitwear is the driver of this collection, from tunic tops and dresses, to ponchos and revisited cardigans, with sophisticated fur, silk or leather details. Knitwear’s indispensable complements are leggings and equestrian-style pants, often in suede, and leather belts. Jersey dresses and blouses, often inspired by the 80s, play a crucial role, adding further femininity to this sensual, layered style. This look is completed by long, sensuous coats and feminine parkas featuring luxurious furs. The novelty of this collection is the comeback of capes and cloaks which mix perfectly with the diverse knitwear elements. This season jackets take on a new interpretation through kimono-like cuts and innovative styling. Skirts adopt mini lengths, and call for tone-in-tone mixing with leggings.
Colors: The backbone of the collection is carefully selected palette of greys and beiges, ranging from creamy milk, sand and mastic, to mink, tan and cement grey. These are supplemented by warm browns ranging from cinnamon and copper to chocolate and maroon. Naturally, bolder colors pepper this collection, and are carried by dresses, knitwear and blouses – forest green, grape-purple, electric blue, plum, moss and blueberry. In prints, LIST this season emphasizes animal prints, such as snakeskin and leopard, for the more sensual look, and diagonal stripes and large dots for “fabulous eighties” look.
Materials: Knitwear leads the way in this collection, ranging from warmer cashmeres and wools to lighter knits that allow for creative layering. The other crucial materials are jersey, present especially among dresses and tops, and suede, used in pants, belts and even jackets. Soft tweed, fox furs, warm wools and cottons, astrakhan and silk add further sophistical to the collection.
Accessories: Generous bags, trendy boots and must-have belts complete the LIST collection this season. Sumptuous and sophisticated, the leather bags of this collection are the perfect accessory for a young modern woman. Likewise the shoes express the trendiest look of the season: over-the-knee high heel boots in either leather or suede, in natural shades of matt brown and grey. Belts, either super wide or ultra thin, are indispensable accessories for this season’s look: to wrap around dresses and knitwear alike.
Evening wear: Black and mauve, milk or mauve dots, satin and jersey – these are the defining elements for List evening wear this season. Refined one-shouldered and asymmetrical dresses, bare backs, and pants-dresses have an important presence, as do soft and feminine see-through elements. Sophisticated black-and-gold belts are a must for List evening wear in Fall/Winter 2009/2010
This season’s soft shapes and layering invite for an exciting multitude of combinations that a List woman can create each and every day.
