1. Desigual SS15 – Carl Ayers
For spring/summer 2015 Desigual has once again united with iconic couturier Christian
Lacroix. In this, Desigual and Lacroix’s third year of collaborating, the two powerhouses
have come together to create a collection inspired by and, at times as fragile as, Mother
Nature herself.
Nature’s flora and fauna influence are abundantly apparent in the prints and patterns, as
this collection is a cornucopia of color. Jade, white, and onyx serve as backdrops to the
vibrant hues of daisies, desert roses, tropical hibiscus and Mexican dahlias while ocean
blues remind us of the waterways that connect us all.

2. Not energized by just one locale, Lacroix’s collection is a multicultural cross-section of
dream destinations. Light and airy tank dresses and maxi skirts evoke a Mediterranean
spirit as they are coupled with South American motifs. The Ibiza influence is featured in
floral frieze and breezy mini shorts, while kimono-style tops represent Japan.
The colors and prints aren’t the only eye-catching features of this collection; the range of
styles is also to be applauded. The Desigual consumer can choose from fun and sporty to
young and sophisticated all in one shop. The varsity-style jackets can take you from early
tailgate to summer music festival. The sailor-style trousers and mini dresses prepare you
for a night on the town … any town.

3. The real standouts of this collection are the blue and white floral coat, the jacquard mini
dresses, and the printed tank dress. These looks offer a hint of sophisticated fun that can
enhance any woman’s wardrobe. As the designer says, “a blossoming kaleidoscope, the
collection is a gift meant to inspire happiness, one bloom at a time.”
