FASHION & GROOMING

Icebreaker’s Spring/Summer 2011 brings nature’s style to the city.

The new collection from iconic New Zealand label Icebreaker features a stunning spectrum of nature inspired garments that transforms world-class technical fabrics and designs into style on the street.

With summer brights dominating this season, the bold colour palette stands out with viola, ember and turquoise hues, and the sophisticated neutral tones of snow and flax are balanced against deep jewel and concrete colourways.

Many pieces are adorned with stylised motifs designed into the fabric including a flax flower, a graceful image reminiscent of kelp flowing in the ocean and flower buds angling towards the sun.

A stand-out collection in superfine Merino, each garment is cool for summer and perfect for layering.

The versatile Villa dress (RRP $159.95) is a wardrobe staple for summer. Cap sleeves, flattering A-line cut and deep V neck make it a collection classic. This beautiful piece can be dressed up to sophistication with a pair of pointed heels for those early cocktails or with strappy sandals for a casual beach picnic.

The Maya skirt (RRP $119.95) will become a summer office favourite with its comfortable fit and on-trend knee length. Match it with a loose silk top and fitted jacket to incorporate a structured tailored look to your outfit and impress at any important meeting.

Flaunt summer comfort in the Butterfly Retreat Tank (RRP $99.95). Featuring an eye-catching print, raw edge detailing and gathered detail at the front, this top will keep you cool and dry in the heat as you rock your city-smart fashion cred.

The guys will manage a casual approach to seasonal style in the Lancewood Tech T Lite (RRP $119.95). Marked with a striking print of the native Lancewood tree, this will appeal to any active guy who likes their fashion with less fuss.
