Richard Lewis Fashion Design :: Spring Summer 2006

The Collection Spring Summer 2006

Three looks for Spring

Absolute Classics, a look not only for spring but also for all seasons. Neat slick jackets and coats in the softest of wools in shades of olive and cream, they are the pivot of the wardrobe, the ultimate basic. For day Richard has teamed them with trousers or the little ‘NothingDress’ reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn and for evening with a svelte matt jersey skirt or a romantic ‘Big Skirt ’with organza appliqué showing a glimpse of flesh. It's the ab. class look.

Native American, a relaxed, composed approach to formal dressing. Easy to wear interchangeable staples in nutmeg brown. Trousers jackets and dresses are all given an extra twist by the use of almost homespun touches such as saddle stitching, appliqué, and body hugging quilted belts and teamed with the softest of suede. Plain dressing, dressed up.

The Wedding, black and grey with just a touch of white are mixed and matched in all ways imaginable. Whether it is for the wedding party or guests, Richard has designed a coordinated wardrobe to suit either. A little grey jacket flocked with black worn with black palazzo pants and a white shirt, a black wool jersey trench over a little Empire line dress, or see through grey organza over a wool jersey hostess skirt for the more adventurous, just add a bride in a scarlet matt jersey ensemble and the stylish wedding picture is complete.
