Élan vital is the creative force behind growth, change and desirable transformation. For Korlekie at the heart of this force are love and grace. We have turned them into a collection for spring/summer 2015, which symbolizes the ultimate power of femininity by playfully mixing the masculine with a touch of sensuality. The key silhouettes of the collection are high necks, asymmetric lines and structural knots placed carefully on Korlekie’s signature garments; lightweight and sustainable yarn, fine lurex and luxurious cotton satin.
The outline of the garments gives an alluring shape to the body while the complexity of the materials provides a sophisticated radiance to the wearer. At the center of Élan Vitals’ palette are dazzling shades of intense turquoise, copper orange, navy blue and platinum gold.
The collection is comprised of a variety of summer essentials that can be easily mixed and matched. Whether it’s a hip denim short, a light knitted dress or a glowing cardigan, Élan Vital offers diversity for both the sizzling Mediterranean and the cool English summer.
The fusion of luxurious textiles, and light and vibrant knits offer a playful variety for the ultimate summer look.
The collection will be presented during London fashion week in September and will be available to purchase from November 2014.
