Atelier Bartavelle x Caroline Perdrix
Atelier Bartavelle’s SS17 collection "Les Auffes" is inspired by the Auffes, a small traditional haven in Marseille, France. Between the sky and the sea, in the heart of an urban district, you will discover the scenery and inspirations of the collection in the words of the French writer Anne Collongues, and mood images by the label’s own Caroline Perdrix. The fashion images are shot by the label's long-term collaborator Francesca Ferrari.
The color range is fresh, contrasting and colorful: limestone pink, lavender blue, purple, red poppy, for plain colors; Caribbean madras flocked in a range of orange, pink, light blue and a range of red, pink, blue.
One discovers a new fabric developed with a silk factory from Lyon called Sfate and Combier: silvery lurex and silk with pink reflections, and a mesh of underwear with silver and golden threads that transforms the garment into a jewelry piece.
This season, the collection is feminine and sometimes unisex. The clothes are light, flexible and wide. The shirts can become dresses or tunics, worn more classically with shorts or a skirt or unbuttoned on the sides for more relaxation. The label’s "classic" coat and tricolor jacket are revisited in a new color ranges. While skirt and dress are declined in the form of the apron, as a top piece.
