Sisley’s Spring/Summer 2015 has the answers to all desires

What are the women of 2015 like? Strong, complicated, demanding. They do everything and want everything. Their closet has to have room for leisure time in town, a meticulously elegant office look and a never-predictable sexiness. Sisley has designed a Spring/Summer fashion for them where sensuality blends with the contemporary: skirts are full, midi, pleated. Culottes are seen and shorts become soft bermudas; jeans are boyfriend and cropped; fabrics such as linen, embroidered organza and chiffon feature strongly. Original finishes range from devorè to embroidery, lace details and plexiglass appliques. Faux leather is this season’s hot trend for the eco-friendly fashionista.

Absolute must-haves are the forest green short jacket with ruched back, the drawstring trousers, the classic black biker jacket and the pleated skirt. These are the iconic pieces for putting together a slick, winning look. Dresses too are truly cool, fit for an urban goddess. Cut to slide easily over the body, in jersey or chiffon, they feature macro-prints and earthy colors such as ochre, mustard, green and maroon. Strong shades in color blocks, that together with “Sisley black” give a touch of extrovert modernity to the summer months. Prints are still on-trend in the S/S 2015 collection and range from nordic, optical and sixties inspiration for tight-waisted unbleached cotton and linen dresses to the timeless floral theme. Whether lilies, Hawaiian hibiscus or luxuriant tropical palms, the flower trend is always up to date and features on sweaters, car coats, pants and little flared dresses.

Very intriguing is Sisley’s suggestion to “read between the lines” that decorate yarn-dyed crackle cotton dresses, statement skirts and very easy chic tops, worn perhaps with one of the season’s musts, oversize, fluid palazzo pants. This easy, happy mood for town or leisure contrasts with a more accentuated femininity, perfect for the evening, a cocktail party or the office. Mini dresses with perforated bodices and the brand new textured body stretch with almost tribal glamour, accentuate the figure.

The sensual new power dress, on the hand, features pattern – especially houndstooth check, the perfect embodiment of the fashion-workaholic spirit of dresses with mischievous ruches on the hips. Top accessories for every occasion are multi-strand leather bracelets or tribal rock collars, maxi twisted ropes of black, bronze and gold chains for a post-punk effect and elegant necklaces with origami flowers, precious costume jewellery with Fifties glamour. For high-impact, contemporary design chic, Sisley presents gold cuffs with geometric designs, pink-finish bronze embossed bracelets and black, white and gold enamelled bangles.
