Spring 2007 is the season of extremes: jam-packed with overstatements and embellishments. Whether the collections appear arabesques romantic or mechanical and geometric, it seems that designers are definitely in a poetic frame of mind. And with poetry comes war, love, passion, and finally peace. One thing is clear: it is more than ever the season of the dress. You will slip into a floral Christina Culver sensation for breakfast at the patisserie, metallic polka dot number for brunch with the girlfriends and a twirly gown for a dinner date night. And he’ll follow in your footsteps all the way; men’s collections are just as extravagant this season with high sheen suits, a clash of patterns and florals topped off with colourful, exotic leather loafers. Enjoy the grandeur that is life of luxe this spring.
