A rich contrasting projection of vibrant compositions, depicting the love and bonhomie prevalent across Europe, prior to World War II; representing the 'Spring - Summer 2010'collection followed by the decidedly structured and more sombre feel that held steady through the years of the war that represents the 'Autumn – Winter 2009' collection.

The 'Spring – Summer20 10' titled 'Love.' draws its inspirations from the pre-war era of the early 20th Century which will be an enthusiastic and creative burst of floral prints, pastel colours and earth tones like olive and a touch of powder blues.
