COLLECTION: OCTOBER
AUTUMN-WINTER 08-09

This collection is shaped under the concepts of uniformity and uni-sexism. 
A line of established work in the search of unique forms that are applicable to both sexes is presented.

Lines that look equally good in the feminine and masculine bodies have been developed, without losing the guidelines that define gender differences.

From this reasoning a collection of very urban lines has arisen which attempts to support the idea, which has already been worked with in previous collections, of creating a way of dressing that is coherent with the century in which we are living. 

Within the project of evolving with that pursue the Lavandera Company year after year, the idea of breaking away from the established cycles is to be found.  In this way a collection is presented which tries to get away from annual seasons, in union with the seasonal changes that we are having.

As regards patterning, which is an indispensable factor in this company, some very clean lines of work are presented which range from the purest form of symmetry to controlled asymmetry.  In the same garment very straight structure volumes are combined with drape volumes.  In this way, we find a balance between the coldness that a very rigidly treated tissue could bring and a tissue that has simply fallen into place naturally.
The tissue has the last word in giving life to the garment.  This is because the volumes that were thought of on paper are reborn once they are applied in the tissue.  Large-bodied tissues such as wools are combined with lighter ones such as silk.  As far as possible, there is a commitment to natural tissues that contribute a special warmth in the garments.
In this way, we can see everything from garments that invoke the idea of armour due to the structuralism of the shapes to dresses that simulate the wrapping of the body in the tissue without any presence of a regular cut.

All these factors are worked on from a prudent distance which enables us not to quash the personality of the final wearer of the garment.  This is due to the fact that in this constant struggle to offer new ways of dressing, the idea of not quashing each wearer’s personality at any time is always there.  It is much rather a case of strengthening his/her personality with some shapes that are adapted to his/her needs and that make them really feel comforted.  Therefore, the style of each garment will finally be defined by the wearer and not so much by the concept of the brand name collection.
