SIC Group fashion themes available

Four fashion themes will be presented in the next edition of Le Cuir A Paris to be held from March 9-10, 2005, at Paris Expo - Porte de Versailles. Poétique Ballade: Infused with spirituality, the untamed Romantic festoons the trees with lace. Delicate and tender, she distils essence of simplicity and feeds on bread and wild berries. Light and luminous, she roams the countryside in organdie petticoats. Impeccable and sweet-toothed, she pods peas, piles up macaroons and smoothes on whipped cream. Key words : essence of simplicity, rural poetry, serenity, romantic nature, monastery craftwork, bio-aesthetics. Gypsyfolkmania: A sexy flamenco dancer twirling to Mediterranean folk tunes. A tragic, languid beauty, redrawn by Salvador Dali, gliding down the wrought iron stairs of her Vallauris villa. A cool intellectual sitting in a deckchair with its striped canvas bleached by the sun, reading 'Bonjour tristesse' in the shade of a fig tree. Key words: mixed southern folklore, summer in the sun, baroque intellectual, sexy flamenco, alluring brunettes, soft vintage Tropic Tropisme: An elegant peroxide blonde, dripping with accessories, wearing dramatic make up and a sexy look, queen of the jet set, perched on stilettos and sipping a cocktail. Her changing taffeta housecoat, casually falls open to reveal a draped swimsuit in sandy stretch nappa. Always on the go between Dubai and Miami. Key words: Nonchalant glamour, ultra sexy, star attitude, exhilarating luxury, California jet-set. Primitive Energy: attracted to primitive art, she piles up amber necklaces and time-worn purple wood bracelets, flips through the Revue Blanche looking for inspiration in the 'negro art' of the twenties, mixes Art Deco codes and 70s graphics, visits the First Arts section in the Louvre to decipher the modernity of tribal art, discovers the work of young African designers, slips into a sunburst pleated skirt to dance to the beat of the tam-tam, sprinkles her body with gold dust and dreams of travelling in the land of the Dogon. Key words: Taboo, black magic, modern style, rhythm and drums, primitive art. Charred colours, body painting. Visuals of the trends available: mbrunel@sicgroup.com
