Spring Summer 2012 Collection
Behind every Met creation lies extensive research into materials, fit, wash and accessories for strictly Made in Italy garments. The new Spring Summer 2012 collection embraces different themes, selected to satisfy the most fashion-conscious customer, not least by offering an excellent price-quality ratio.
Bon Ton Pas Du Tout
The rock spirit is paraphrased in a pop/pin up interpretation: high waist, flared trousers, oversized jumpers, polka dots, prints and inserts in light faux leather, chain and zip accessories for a truly unique look. Aggressive cuts for dresses with a bon ton appearance, frills and long pockets for super skinny trousers. The jackets have removable sleeves. The jumpsuit is given a lot of attention, used as a single piece and redesigned with a high waist. The colours are those so familiar of pop culture: lilac, canary yellow and fluorescent orange are combined with ever–present denim.
Mykonos
The lightness of the summer is interpreted with the use of precious, delicate cottons of silk and raw effect linen. Floral prints, on tones of military green, grey and beige, and tribal patterns contrasted with fluorescent lace for dresses and maxi shirts. The linen dungaree shorts are particularly unique. And printed lace dresses provide something for the romantics. Metallic fabrics create natural creases on cold-dyed linen shirts, which have tone on tone chiffon details applied. Cotton and plush trousers are invaded by fl oral prints in multicolour and beige, and snake print in white, beige and light grey tones. Bright colourful multi-strands, coloured micro beads, sequins and flat, round and squared studs adorn the bottom of jacket sleeves, belts and trouser side strips.
BASIC
For spring summer 2012 Met updates its basic line. Different types and weights of denim are used for the traditional fi ve pocket jeans, characterised by treatments that go from clean blue to bleach, with extreme tears for a simple look that is never boring. The models with tattoo print and all over glitter are decidedly eccentric. The high-waist trousers are the height of femininity. Liberty London stet patches are applied, strictly hand sewn, and give the fi nal touch of elegance to the pieces. Soft mixed sweatshirts, jersey jumpers and devorè rib knits complete the look. The colour card is extensive, and offers colours in different tones as well, breathing life into the fabrics.
X - FIT
Clothes that offer all-round comfort. The super skinny Met jeans enhance the female figure, adapting perfectly to every movement. There's a wide choice of washes, from the most basic to the more sought-after: bleached, accessorised with irridescent metallic coating, dyed again with bright colours and screen printed with twinkling cascades. Extreme comfort elasticised gabardine offers a wide range of treatments, but always keeps its silky touch: intense colours, more delicate effects obtained with particular fi nishes and artisanal look strokes of colour, all using fresh, bright colours, just like the season they were made for.
Je Suis Unique
Garments handmade with military details, elements of the Savannah and nods to the Eastern world of the Geisha for a decidedly unique overall look. The creations from this innovative capsule collection offer stone wash, rips and tears for an more aggressive look. In every collection Unique will provide an increasingly fresh and innovative product.
Miami Cocktail
Soft and extremely colourful fabrics glide along the body, highlighting the female figure. Rhinestones, studs and chains adorn the slim but comfortable garments. The most glamorous theme of the collection is enriched with new and interesting proposals: animal garments and dresses embellished with leather braces and military inspired pockets, dresses and tracksuits fi nished with chains, jewellery and brightened up by cascades of wet look tone on tone studs. Not to be missed are the customised t-shirts with all over sequin work and the fancy fl eece jackets, which can be paired with any of the pieces from the theme. Lovely hair bands, pendants with coloured feathers, micro hats and a practical jute bag with coloured inserts complete the look.
