THE designers this season seem agreed on one thing - spring is a time for casual dressing and a natural approach to fashion.
Bogner has searched out the best for cool dressing and the final result is a cut that is clean and comfortable in fabrics which are geared to everyday living.
There are jersey blends, linen and denim, including lightweight denim in colours which are as natural as a summer's day.
Characteristic of the look are long vests, minimal jackets and pyjama-style suits in Bogner's Casablanca line.
Loose-fitting pants, tank tops and open-necked shirts, and short-sleeved jackets without lapels are all in linen and feature ethnic prints in taupes, blues, browns and siennas.
The richly embroidered vest adds an elegant touch in the evenings.
Also, North African-inspired is the two-tone patterns of Las Hadas designed in fine linen with eyelet embroidery for tops and blouses and heavier linen for casual jackets.
