IslandIslandIsland:

A young trend aimed at a target market aged between 20 and 35 of a working to middle class level income. The Island woman is young, stylish and fresh. The designs appeal to her playful and comfortable side. The Island look is for those wanting to relax in the summer but also for those wishing to add some brightness to a grey rainy day.

Island is composed of tropical fauna and flora under a cerulean sky. Flamingos and exotic flowers blend with lush foliage and tropical fruit to evoke Hawaiian landscapes and South Ameri-can jungles. The palette of colours is vibrant and typical of Latin American culture: yellows, oranges and pinks but to give it a contemporary angle they have been muted, faded and distres-sed to give a vintage feel. Island makes us want to relive the 1950s vacations in Miami.
