Charles Anastase Spring Summer 2011





style.com


Charles Anastase found a more sophisticated direction for his signature gamine look this season creating a ‘light and happy’ collection of mid length dresses in muted hues. After Autumn Winter’s deconstruction experiment, Anastase returned to his wearable formula of peter pan collar coats, sheer polka dots, ruffled necklines and stacked wedges. For Spring Summer Jane Birkin and Charlotte Gainsbourg serve as the designers muses, explaining the pared down vibe of the collection. It is easy to imagine Jane breezing round Paris in one of the mid length dresses straw basket in hand. Possibly due to his Birkin inspiration, Anastase moved away from the dramatic ruffled pieces of previous collections creating versatile pieces, adding his signature quirky geek glasses and pastel sheer tights. Each model wore a blunt bobbed wig very reminiscent of Abbey Lee Kershaw’s iconic bob and the current style of Charles’ muse Valentine Fillol Cordier.


Highlights from the collection included

- The divine sheer dress with flowers on it, simultaneously romantic and sexy.

- A sheer polka dot bodysuit

- Silver jacquard pegged trousers which would look perfect on a summer evening.

- Ruffle necked blouses.

- Orange stacked wedges that the models were unable to walk in.
