Day Birger et Mikkelsen - Enigmatic Contrasts

 

SPRING SUMMER 2012 - WOMEN’S COLLECTION


 Sophistication, craftsmanship and unconventional style are ever inspirational leitmotifs for Day Birger et Mikkelsen, who makes a vibrant and versatile style statement for Spring Summer 2012. The unique bohemian heritage is taken to a new level by channelling a clean, modern and edgy vibe to the design DNA and thus creating an eclectic collection for the free-spirited and creative mind.


Day Birger et Mikkelsen introduces the new true to season wardrobe where contrasts are the key marker for a collection of timeless, functional pieces that enables women to dress in chic everyday outfits as well as more exquisite styles for evening wear.


An important theme in the collection evolves around ‘aestetic decay’ – a fusion of opposite attractions in which fabrics are combined in tasteful yet untraditional ways. Pure material and treated leather are transformed into graceful, feminine pieces of garments. Romantic detailing with lace and lingerie trimmings are re-toned and applied into a more cool and deconstructed look.


Two other inspirational frames, ‘classic horizon’ and ‘natural born bohemians’, offer an interesting play in the collection. It creates a new dynamic between feminine grace, luscious fabrics, ethnic décor and embellishment in junction with masculine tailoring, raw detailing and cool, minimal dressing.


Contemporary tailoring flirts with graphic artwork and presents essential items in draping, light fabrics like silk, rayon and modal. The Bohemian aesthetic is revised portraying an unpretentious blend of styles from different decades and origins. Artwork, detailing and print meet in a vivid melange of exclusive craftsmanship and originality.


The colour stories are divided into accents of light neutrals, grey and metallic tones and get a warmer touch through softer pastels, earth tone and sunkissed yellow.


Spring Summer 2012 at Day Birger et Mikkelsen exudes a modern, understated elegance charged by enigmatic contrasts that create strong, lasting looks for women who dresses unpretentious cool.
