Sretsis Parallel Universe - Fashion Image 3 - Fashion Blogs

Sretsis Parallel Universe is where anything you want to happen does happen. Anything is possible in the enchanted, wild world of Sretsis—a world full of imagination and wonder. The Sretsis Autumn/Winter 2008 “Parallel Universe” collection evokes a dreamlike landscape with wild animals, expansive skies and mythical beings. Animals figure prominently into the prints, textiles and accessories of the collection. From fur trim to digital printings of Alaskan Deer, Owls, Panthers and Unicorns on silk chiffon and silk satin, animals—real and imagined—romp through the collection. In the complementary Matina Amanita accessories collection, designed by Sretsis little sister Matina, animals like reindeer and swans are intertwined with metal jewelry. Prints of surreal landscapes from the North Pole to Loch Ness to the Moon also grace dresses and tops, conveying a colorful sense of mysticism. Like past collections, “Parellel Universe” is full of sweet details like ruffles, tiers, peter pan collars, and capelets. Sretsis mixes and matches these feminine touches with surprising prints and textures like plaids and quilted fabric. The sisters behind Sretsis envision “Parallel Universe” as a series of interlocking and interrelated pieces, a jigsaw puzzle that can be put together to reveal a hopeful, harmonious universe.
