Amsterdam International Fashion Week: Oilily

Oilily presented their Fall/Winter '09 collection with lots of gold! Alive with charm, colour, quality, and original prints, the unique collection enables any woman, young or old, to accentuate her own individuality. Rich fabrics, dreamy and surreal graphics stood side by side to create deliberately rebellious but feminine designs. Viennese artists from the early 1900s such as Hundertwasser and Klimt were the inspiration for this collection€™s prints, colour palette and decorative embellishments. With just a few fundamental amendments here and there, Oilily€™s striking womenswear designs transform into the most beautiful new creations for girls.
The collection ranges from voluminous skirts to snug wool cardigans, as well as eye-catching tops and sophisticated dresses made from rich, dramatic fabrics.
