Libertine :: Spring Summer 2006
For the Libertine show on Friday, it was about drinking old England dry. A collection combining Libertine's reincarnation of vintage and new looks, the Victorian influenced presentation was filled with pretty slip dresses, as well as layered printed versions in vibrant colors. Velvet jackets and tulle dresses displayed multi-colored Swarvoski crystals representing old English roses and skulls. Queen Victoria's silk screened image was placed across rock n' roll tees and skirts. With Libertine's quirky humor and eye for the old and new, the collection succeeded in creating clothes and an identity for its client, a fun lighthearted girl that brings the romantic rock star out in all of us.
