Overview
Items relating to the creation, marketing and distribution/sale of the fashion collection. The following text is drawn from items in the file: The Laurie Foon summer 07/08 collection captures the magic of the twilight hour. A mysterious time, both softly romantic and thrillingly sinister; an electrifying moment of transition and temptation. The moment when the peaceable dog becomes wolf, the stars wash the dusk with silver and we shed the day like an old skin. The seeping of day into night offers vivid hallucinations and distorted images as our eyes play tricks on us, creating false horizons, altering distances and shrouding landmarks. The ‘Twilight Prowl’ collection has elements of elegance and drama. Colours emulate the luminous inky and silver skies, the bronze horizon and the looming black of night. The silhouette is soft and full with twisted panels and side seams that distort and draw the eye across the body. Skin is revealed from scooping low backs and delicate straps. Pleats and pin tucks create subtle texture and form clean lines. Gathering of hemlines add lightness and volume. Fabrics of natural linen and polished cotton are complemented with more luxurious cloths of silk jersey and jacquards. Adornments of silk plaited straps, star applique, Swarovski crystal buttons and hand sewn copper domes add intricate detail to slips, camis and jackets. Twilight has a transformative quality when the ordinary becomes something magical and otherworldly. It is a time of mystery and wonder.
