the alessa s/s 2011 collection was inspired by alchemy, witches, and, ahem, "gypsys" or "roma" (sorry, the former isn't really pc; however, the latter isn't a widespread enough term, one can expect everyone to know what that means). there was also a certain seventies quality to the show, referencing that period when mysticism was so trendy.
it wasn't an overwhelmingly outstanding show, as far as these things go, although there were a number of pretty kaftans & lovely prints on the long, flowing numbers. the shoes were probably the highlight for me; the ability to make them look both glamourous & sort of functional was a real footwear feat.
this seems to be, though, one of those collections with a built-in clientele. there are certainly masses of this type of girl who attire themselves in these general get-ups with a severity that borders on putting on an army uniform. besides, maxi dresses have been in for warmer weather. it's good we have something cute on offer.
