Dagmar SS2012
The modern vagabond
Caftans with deep v-necks and graphic cuts. Loose and fluid silhouettes. Dagmar’s Spring/Summer collection 2012 is greatly inspired by the relaxed Moroccan lifestyle as well as modern urban graphics – it is a wardrobe tailored for the modern vagabond.
The items of the Spring/Summer collection of 2012 are relaxed and comfortable, yet glamorous. Knitted cloaks with low cut necklines, ankle length skirts and flared trousers are key garments. The materials are fluid, airy and soft and the loose silhouette makes a pleasant balance between sophisticated and relaxed fit.
The details are elaborate and inspired from African wildlife, exotic Moroccan patterns and elements from modern buildings. Lace knitting, braids, details in the back, blockings in colours, architectural elements and alternating sections of solid and see-through fabric are some examples of the featured details.
This collection is the perfect suitcase for the contemporary vagabond; a woman who travels around the world in both business and pleasure, leading a life with frequent jet-set parties, urban working days and moments of leisure, and with a profound interest in eco-travelling and of the visual and performing arts, says Kristina Tjäder Dagmar’s head of design.
The prints of the collection are borrowed exotic patterns from the crocodile and the giraffe. The colours mirror the shades of African wildlife and are either neutrals - like sand, stone, bright sunlight, clouds and plants – or pop colours like that of copper, agate or amber. The shades are either a strong accent colour combined with a neutral base or tone-in-tone.
