- Story Text: Glamorous beachwear label Gottex presented its Spring 2011 collection at New York Fashion Week on Wednesday (September 15), with a look that celebrates women.
The swimwear fashion house showcased designs featuring ruched and foiled metal Lycra, finished with Lucite, rock crystals and hammered titanium metals. With a colour palette of cobalt, sunset, sand, green and bronze, the collection was created to accentuate the female form.
"I think to me it was all about positive feeling and optimism and it's a mix of different nature aspects like sunset," designer Molly Grad told Reuters Television backstage before the show.
"We have a lot of sunset prints, a lot of sunset colours, sunrise colours and then we have a lot of different rock formations like malachite prints and sand prints so it's pretty much a positive, colourful collection for a very confident woman," Grad said.
Confidence aside, the designer said she could relate to women who dreaded shopping for swimwear.
"I have to say I really identify with that feeling because no matter who I meet, every single woman feels particularly naked and exposed when she's on the beach, so in a way I feel that we have to provide an extra layer of confidence to those girls. And you want to feel held in and secure and gorgeous, so I definitely think it's an experience that all women know very well," Grad said.
New York Fashion Weeks enters its final day on Thursday (September 16), and Grad said the overall feeling was positive.
"I think super positive. And also that's where I'm at with the collection because we have a lot of embellishment, a lot of beauty, and a lot of optimism and I think that's exactly where the world is at right now with fashion. Everyone just wants to do something special," Grad said.
More than 90 designers will have showcased their collections for Spring / Summer 2011 by the end of Fashion Week on September 16. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
