The Venise collection – line of garments takes us to an incredible trip at the heart of the Mediterranean. Annabelle Fleury is inspired by the Mediterranean architecture, especially the linear forms and refined lines of its buildings. Annabelle Fleury’s designs have a fluid line through the use of refined cuts. The delicacy of wraps is one of the key features of that collection. It can be found in dresses designed with overlapping panels as well as on tops through the use of scarves. The dresses are fitted with wraps, revealing bare arms and shoulders. Through this collection, Annabelle Fleury wishes to suggest a Mediterranean trip where stylishness and sobriety are one.
The Mediterranean style is characterised by the aesthetics of curved lines and the use of rough materials such as wrought iron. Ironwork, which is specific to the artistic movement of modern style, has a decorative and aesthetic function in Mediterranean buildings. Wrought iron decorations are often present in the construction industry, on balustrades or decorative objects. Wrought iron, one of the greatest symbols of the Mediterranean style, is worked in curls. This shape is recalled in Annabelle Fleury’s collection through the use of interweaving patterns on the dresses. The designer chooses an assembly of forms for her dresses, using colours such as black and different shades of pink. The different yokes on the dresses fit together to create a harmonious blend of colours.
This collection is filled with shimmering colours, recalling the cheerfulness and friendliness of the Mediterranean atmosphere. The garments are in fluorescent pink, pink coral hues and vermilion red. Grey is for the colour of the floors paved with marble or terrazzo. The walls of Mediterranean houses are enhanced through colours that evoke a floral and rural setting. The collection is thus comprised of shades of violet, recalling the lavender fields of the Mediterranean regions.
This collection, ascribed to the Mediterranean, is a tribute to this land which timelessly makes us relive the glory of a legacy filled with history.
