Collection
Fall/Winter 2008
The cold season always offer something special. The opportunity to play with layers and richer colours tend to bring out and entice your fashion sense whilst facing the obvious restrictions of weather conditions which demand a certain wear-ability and function. While challenging, tis’ really is the season to be jolly, but forget over the top naive glitz, for fall/winter 08 Filippa K presents a collection filled with attitude and relaxed British coolness. Our muses and icons have been the ever relevant Nico from Velvet Underground and Joe Strummer from The Clash.
Women’s Collection
Early 70s punk with its streaks of girlishness, combined with pure rebelliousness, captures the essence of this collection.
It’s about the ‘punk within’ combined with the simplicity of Filippa K. The essence of cool and stylish lead singer of Velvet Underground, Nico.
We have focused on feminine details and expressions such as pointed shoulders, a narrow waist and shawl collars both for outerwear, jersey and knitwear. Leather details and strong print effects, combined with a skinny pant silhouette creates a rebellious touch. The ‘Halston look’ in jersey, with full length dresses, draped effects and deep cut necklines is also an important look for the season. Colourful tweeds are combined with shiny-matte effects in wovens, as well as melange yarns in knits. Central items of the collection are suit jackets, one tailored fit and a more edgy version with pointy shoulders, and under the knee, high waisted skirts. Shoes are super feminine and high heeled with a contrast in the cool M.C boot.
Collection colours are a mix of bright orange-red and strong turquoise and softer pastel hues: lollipop pink and shimmery light grey. A dark wine colour sets a base together with browns and beige.
Men’s Collection
Our inspiration comes from the early years of The Clash and their “Ska” approach to punk with Joe Strummer as an iconic person. This is contrasted by an abstract view on something very British and classic but done in a new, young and rebellious way.
