Inspired by Wanderlust
A riot of rich textures and colours evocative of eastern nomadic
couture sets the tone for an inspired Spring 2016 collection, which
launches another year of trend defining style at ODEL, Sri Lanka's
leading department store for fashionistas.
Appropriately themed 'Wanderlust' the just-in collection formally
unveiled on February 1, mirrors a global fascination with the
tribal-chic, ethnic colours, patterns and fabrics that can be expected
at a Caravansary. Distinctly ethnic influences, adventurous prints and
travel-ready ensembles that reflect the colours and vibrancy of
folkloric costumes and native prints from around the globe, dominate in
the collection.
Calling to the spirit of adventure and the desire to experience the
unknown that sparks the impulse to travel, explore cultures and venture
into new situations, ODEL's Wanderlust collection arms the happy
traveller with the confidence of being in step with global style and in
sync with the fashion universe. The fabrics and prints of the new
collection use seeds and beads, crochet belts, cotton corded lace, the
Indonesian decorative technique ikat, ultra-suede, crochet inserts,
Indian blanket patterns, fringe, suede, textured crepe, chiffon, knitted
jersey, and ruffles.
Handmade floral embroideries, intricately dyed textiles and bold
prints are also among the styles featured in the new collection.
Patterned monochromes have been mixed with contrasting pops of colour,
while rich embroideries and tassels add the all-important texture to the
prints.
A wide-spectrum colour palette of red, orange, brown, green, blue,
and white as principal colours supported by shades of maroon, teal,
turquoise, orange and yellow make ODEL's Spring 2016 collection extra
striking and lively, calling to the bold and the adventurous dresser who
likes to make a statement.
"Our customers expect nothing but the very latest trending designs,
and the ODEL Wanderlust collection will not disappoint," said Ms Desiree
Karunaratne, Marketing Director of Softlogic Holdings, which owns the
iconic department store chain. "It is warm, vibrant and engaging, and
the perfect start to a fashionable 2016 for ODEL shoppers."
