SUMMER IN THE CITY

Jeans and a tee may be okay for lounging around the house but girls wanting to hit the town this summer will be looking cool in outfits with a classic and chic structure or perhaps in a dress that has a little gypsy in its soul.
PP Group, a distributor of luxury fashion products, recently presents the spring and summer 2012 collections of Celine, Yves Saint Laurent, Tory Burch and Emilio Pucci at Oriental Residence.

Pilati’s devotion to construction and form is furthered in the discipline and geometry of an A-line coat, a godet skirt and the cinched back of a v-neck blouse. Loden and nile green with sepia greys convey a cool transitional reserve with unusual lightness. Black, bright white and opulent gold structures the palette. Belts and shoes also extend beyond their forms with jewel and pearl treatments and mirrored surfaces.
YSL girls will love the latest luxury “It Bag” called Cabas Chyc. The elegant square form creates modern appeal while the golden “Y” logo in vintage style makes the bag look as chic as ever.

There’s ease to proportions such as raised, below the knee or ankle-length hemlines, drop and natural waist dresses and lightweight knit layers.
