Noa Noa‘s Autumn 2010 Collection centres on three themes; the classic vagabond, mix and match from the different cultures along the Great Silk Road and a modern day interpretation of Rococo.
The central trend is a tighter silhouette which focuses on the waist and a selection of raw materials that contrasts with the feminine, ethnic Noa Noa universe.
The Vagabond
The Vagabond theme is reflected in the choice of materials. Textiles are rough and pre-washed to achieve a “used look”. Washed wool and heavy cotton are combined with ready-made waistcoats and waisted jackets. Narrow grey men’s trousers in striped wool or pre-washed stretch are a must. To this can be added elegant gentlemen’s hats and sturdy lace boots to achieve the perfect vagabond look.
The Great Silk Road
The Great Silk Road draws on the cultures along its path and the mystery of the East, as manifested, for example, in the compact silk embroidery and decorative metallic Jacquard weaves. This part of the collection features everything from kimono-sleeved knitwear to tunics from various parts of India and silk dresses with hand-crocheted details. Ideal for combining with large pieces of jewellery in characteristic China red or metal and natural stone necklaces.
Rococo
A modern-day interpretation of ‘A touch of Rococo‘ provides a historic contrast. This is reflected in the silhouette, where cut deliberately highlights the shoulders and waist. But the themed collection also features fine details and prints. This is also where we find one of the collection’s key items: a boned corset with genuine tight lacing.
This season’s colour is grey – in all imaginable shades! This is joined by dusty mauve, earthy colours, petroleum colours and burnt red colours that can be spiced with lime.
We hope you enjoy NOA NOA Autumn 2010.
