Louise Kennedy

Collection: Spring / Summer 2006

The LOUISE KENNEDY collection for Spring / Summer 2006 epitomises a new mood of elegance and refinement. From signature slim, supple tailoring to fluid jersey, soft knits to colourful brocades and jacquards, floaty silks to embellished evening wear, these are pieces that celebrate a renewed appetite for sophisticated femininity and polished dressing.

A delicious palette encapsulates the season's glacial whites and flattering nudes as well as a rainbow of colours from vibrant fuchsia and magenta to azure blue, acid lime, blush pink and flattering coral, all interpreted in a selection of exquisite fabrics: elegantly wearable wools, linens, silks and cashmeres.

The highest standards of haute couture workmanship and fabrication marry classic luxury with contemporary glamour. Eye-catching details provide visual highlights: feminine frills, prim pleats, diamante buttons, satin binding, precious beading and exquisite embroidery. There is play on texture too: sheer diaphanous silks are set against basket-weave tweeds, the lustre of linear beading teamed with matte crepe jersey and the roughness of sexy denim twinned with delicate sequins. The Louise Kennedy collection celebrates a confident femininity that transcends seasonal trends while retaining a contemporary freshness.
