Summer Splash
Splash revives old school glamour in its unique summer collection
It’s edgy, sexy and super-stylish. Splash’s summer collection bids farewell to the dishevelled look and welcomes ultra glam, with bespoke designs to beat the extraordinary heat of summer. With FAST-FORWARD, Splash captures the magic of lazy days -the fun, levity and the summer rush inspire a collection rich in fabrics and resplendent in exotic details highlighted with a classic style and a sophisticated attitude.
The ladies’ lines exude classic femininity through a melange of luxurious fabrics set off by classic proportions, fitted shapes and narrow silhouettes. In Body Conscious, a formal work wear range, the mix of fabrics is largely conservative with fine lace and sequinned detailing retelling the ‘30s and ‘40s style stories with modern retouching and a lot of layering, still practical and presentable, but with a striking touch of drama and glamour.
With New Tribe, the beats of the urban jungle play again. The tribal trends have re-emerged with a pared-down look and simplistic feel. Mixing and matching fabrics, Splash moves through the range in a profusion of summer colours and moods. Yet the draping and silhouettes are soft and the volume, mellow. Hard-core tribal designs have been replaced with offbeat patterns and cultural motifs.
The Essential adds a dimension of timeless elegance to Fast Forward. It is the vintage- classic connection with its sophisticated, tailored and refined turn out. The style is quintessentially classic with slender fitting lines, prim details, rich fabrics and a gamine charm. Feminine colours like turquoise, purple or pink or barely-there neutrals set off the styling and accessories to perfection.
From the Corporate to the Casual the difference is dramatic – the colours become high-energy with comfortable styling and an extremely outdoorsy feel. For the sports hound or the comfort-clothes enthusiast, the Elevated Sports line will be nothing short of an epiphany. Bursting with raucous colours, the line combines unconventional fabric and loud prints with carefree silhouettes, functional details and a sunny appeal.
Far from the madding crowds to the most exclusive playground of the rich and famous, Riviera emphasizes on chic resort wear. The fabrics are cool, soft and inspired by tranquil white beaches of the French Riviera. A resurgence of the resort wear captures the elegance of bygone era and rejuvenates elegant summer separates. Elegance meets eccentric in styling – with plenty of printed motifs like animal symbols, updated abstracts and simple bi-prints outlining the classic cuts of the collection.
Men’s Lines:
For the guys, the summer collection is all about comfort and charisma. The lines explore the nexus between the formal and the informal; and strike the perfect balance by serving up a fare that’s pleasant, trendy and not conspicuously dressed-up or dressed-down.
The Boston Trend underscores the Nexus man’s evolution over the years – it is confident, fresh and unpretentious. By the sea, an English afternoon or a classic evening, the men’s line is versatile with clean lines, easy fabrics and simple styling. Based around the understated yet suave greys and khakis of the season, the creamy neutrals and pigmented soft tones are complemented by basic prints like stripes and checks.
Say hello to the sun and sea – the Caribbean inspiration is here! The men’s comfort wear teems with contrasts in treatment and effects. The rhythmic beats of the islands are played out in tropical florals patterns and yarn-dyed fabrics. The inherent playfulness is underscored by a stylistic strength and a relaxed air.
Splash’s summer collection is a celebration of the beauty and joy of summertime. With a range of colours and styles, Fast Forward dazzles with its versatility and trendy feel. Rather than going all out futuristic, Splash’s Fast Forward is all about soaking up and speeding through a belting summer.
