Rigetta Klint autumn/winter 2009

For her autumn/winter collection 2009, Rigetta Klint has used colour and shape as key features for creating an elegant and feminine silhouette. The idea that high quality fabrics and exquisite lines are essential to create sustainable fashion runs through every piece of clothing. The collection features basic classics with references to French nostalgia as well as graphic minimalism. Soft lines and drapes are combined with strict elegance in order to highlight the material and the designs.

The palette mixes sombre colours like nougat, greenish grey and beige with a deep pink, eucalyptus and darker shades for contrast. The high quality materials include Swiss cotton voile, wool jersey, Italian cash wool, silk georgette and fine woven wool, all luxurious and long lasting. The materials, just like the design, must stand the test of time and all clothes are produced under fair conditions.
