Sarabanda Italy Spring/Summer 2011 Collection on The Catwalk at Pitti Immagine Bimbo

In Sarabanda's new collection, which draws inspiration from different themes, little girls and little boys play the main characters in present and retro settings.

The theme of CINEMA features the little boy who plays the film-maker and chooses British-taste clothes: jackets, cardigans and checkered fabrics; the little girl plays the role of the leading actress who wears stylish garments, plenty of stripes and a touch of bright blue. Red and white are the leading colors, besides blue.

The two children also play stars of the 1960’s, an age revised through the mood of present time. For the little girl and boy, a retro style transferred to nowadays. The little boy wears the typical garments of that age – jackets, cardigans and berets – interpreted in light colors, mainly pale blue and white. The garments for the little girl feature clean lines, with details and graphics typical of the 1960’s, and brought up-to-date through the use of sequins.

The colors for the little boy are warm and strong: red, orange, reddish purple, beige and black. The colors for the little girl are paler – pink, light green and denim, featuring flowers and butterflies typical of these sunny and warm places.

…and only for the little girl, a wardrobe inspired from COLONIAL mood, based on light fabrics such as linen, flowers in a white setting, a hint of beige for dresses and trousers with smart waistcoats. A mood of colonial age and of large South American colonial estates.
