Monique Collignon’s second prêt-a-porter collection consists of three themes: Navy Affair, Bohemian Rhapsody and City Vibes.
Monique: “I have chosen for three different themes in one collection because we’re not just one person; I look totally different now, than when I’m for instance at my stable or when I’m on holiday.”
Better known for her couture work, Monique easily translates her sexy-chique signature into prêt-a-porter.
Monique: “It’s completely different to design a prêt-a-porter line, yet there is obviously a comparable style and vision in all of my work. The nice thing about prêt-a-porter and such a diverse collection, is that it becomes available to all different kinds of women; young girls and slightly older girls.”
Navy Affair contains all you could expect from a maritime theme: cropped trousers, anchor accessories, sailor’s caps and neck-scarves. Bohemian Rhapsody is a subtle transition from Boho to the boulevard and City Vibes, with its monotone palette and sophisticated tailoring, is perfect for the female city slicker.
