Show your Colours NOW IT’S A BANG ! THE COLOUR BLOCKING TREND IS BACK AND BRINGS COLOUR INTO OUR WARDROBE. LOOKING AT THIS OUTFIT WILL CERTAINLY CHEER YOU UP. THE COLOURFUL COMBINATION PUTS US IN THE RIGHT MINDSET FOR SUMMER.
221-10 Top “Hanne”
221-11 Skirt “Edith”
Pink does not go with orange ? Forget it ! Everything is allowed in fashion. Apart from that, bright pink and rich orange are bound to lift the mood and harmonise wonderfully with each other.
Whereas skirts previously were likely to have a slit at the side, now an XL slit in the front provides more freedom of leg movement. The trendy pieces are appropriately called slit skirts. To make such a long slit possible without showing too much when worn, the trend skirts come in a midi length.

221-20 Dress “Charlotta” Things can be more colourful in summer. The rising temperatures and the bright colours of nature invite us to be a little bolder. So, go for the colourful printed fabrics !
221-21 Dress “Rosella” Buttons no longer only serve a functional purpose but have become a popular detail on various garments. They come in all kinds of sizes and colours. So, you can always find the perfect buttons – and these ones we even covered with the dress fabric.

Heatwave WE LOVE AIRY PIECES FOR HOT DAYS. THE TOP PRIORITY FOR THE MIDSUMMER OUTFIT IS WIDE CUTS. LOOSE CLOTHING ENSURES THAT THE AIR CAN CIRCULATE MUCH BETTER – WHAT A VERY PLEASANT WAY TO COOL DOWN. HERE ARE TWO PARTICULARLY BREEZY IDEAS.

221-12 Jeans dress “Irina” The denim dress makes its return and is the perfect blend of casual and elegant. The soft, thin chambray fabric, a particularly summery denim, is light and airy and therefore wonderfully comfortable to wear.
221-13 Blouse “Clementine” This sophisticated blouse top with frill finish and Spanish hemline detail is loosely tied at the back. The hot days can come and will be especially beautiful this way.
221-14 Handbag “Nova” Ethnic style is one of the hottest fashion trends again this summer. Ethnic handbags aren’t just colourful, they add an instant summer vibe to our looks.

Tailwinds FITNESS AND HEALTH HAVE BECOME PART OF THE LIFESTYLE FOR QUITE A WHILE. ACTIVE WEAR FOR THE GYM AND THE OUTDOORS IS MORE IN VOGUE THAN EVER AND IS ALSO STYLED FOR EVERYDAY USE AFTER SPORTING ACTIVITIES.
221-30 Windbreaker “Kaja” The latest retro trend ? The windbreaker ! It celebrates its comeback after enjoying great popularity in the late 80s. It was already considered absolutely out in the early 90s – and that’s what the sportylooking slip-on jacket remained, for almost 30 years. But now this is changing !
221-31 Leggings “Seda” Leggings are always comfortable regardless of whether you wear them for sport or leisure. The asymmetrically designed elastic is not only a visual highlight, but also offers a comfortable fit.

Fancy a Little Timeout ? WOULD YOU ALSO LIKE TO SLOW DOWN AND RECHARGE FROM EVERYDAY LIFE ? PERHAPS JUST AN OVERNIGHT STAY AT THE WEEKEND OR A VISIT ? WHETHER FOR A FORTNIGHT OR TWO NIGHTS, YOU OFTEN NEED TO TAKE THE SAME LOT OF COSMETICS WITH YOU, AND YOU CERTAINLY CAN’T DO WITHOUT ANOTHER PAIR OF SHOES. WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER A FEW PRACTICAL UTENSILS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE ROAD.
221-40 Garment bag Garment bags are ideal for transporting and storing delicate garments. The advantage of sewing it yourself : It can be customised to the size of your choice and decorated with embroidery it becomes individual with a distinctive character. 221-41 Shoe bag Only one pair of shoes fits in here, but when going out into nature for two days, that’s quite enough for transporting the running shoes. Or you can just sew two of them, then the pumps are also allowed to come along – you never know. 221-42 Cosmetic utensil Those who like travelling also need a cosmetic utensil. This model is folded, practical and compact and when hung up it provides a good overview. The travel stamp embroideries add an extra personal touch.
