Look Book: Vlisco "Delicate Shades"

Vlisco just blown Elegancy101 away with this brand new look book.
‘Delicate Shades‘, the new collection by Vlisco will officially launch tomorrow but as always, Elegancy101 has the exclusive scoop.

Vlisco collaborated with fashion illustrator, Sabine Pieper.
This is Sabine’s first big project since the birth of her daughter and she definitely did a fabulous job! Sabine tells us her inspiration for the ‘Delicate Shades’ illustration.

“Actually, I was inspired by the Vlisco fabrics themselves, with all their wonderful colours and different patterns. I tried to create images to ‘fit’ the shapes of the dresses and match the particular fabrics. For example, I repeated the dress forms, the outlines or the shapes within the patterns themselves, the black lines, and the coloured stripes that are repeated in the fabrics of Delicate Shades.“

The collection is made up of a fabric, fashion, bag & accessory line and is available from November the first in Africa and on the Vlisco website.
The inspiration for the collection was drawn from the perfect imperfection that underlines Vlisco’s craftsmanship. The unique printing technique was taken to the next level for the collection, turning inspiration into reality. The result is two different designs on one fabric created from a single pattern design. Since the front and back are different, a double layer with a transparent effect is created. The possibilities to create a stunning outfit are virtually endless. Take a look:
