Dubai, UAE, May 11, 2016: The Essentiel SS16 collection is a tropical melange. A blend of typically African prints and New York ease. Or warm Cuban hospitality embraced by a sultry Brazilian breeze. Walking into Inge Onsea’s dream, we are hit by a clash of different cultures: ‘Zoë Kravitz meets Frida Kahlo on a rave in Ibiza and embark together on a crazy safari’. COLOURS & PRINTS An eclectic mix of prints: expressionist brushstrokes, botanical flowers, anaconda snakeskin textures, a shadow play of tropical plants, geometric circles and African tribal designs. One of the most eye-catching silhouettes in the collection is the dark, oversized Luckylove dress covered in bright florals, topped with a black and white striped raincoat. The unexpected colour combinations surprise and seduce. This summer, fiery Byzantine purple flirts with natural caramel colours. Fresh white tones, velvet soft blue and pink are paired with sumptuous hues such as mustard, coca cola and deep green. FABRICS Quality fabrics are used in creative ways. Bold lace detailing, graphic nylon and embroidered jacquards create an optical play of fabrics. In the collection, we also find silk evening dresses, sumptuous shirts in crisp cotton and sweaters in the softest alpaca or tie-dyed cashmere. ACCESSORIES There is a strong vintage vibe in the accessories. Handbags in faux-croc, suede and eel leather create a luxurious look, while the hand-knitted ‘Granny’ clutches and woven handbags undoubtedly add a touch of nostalgia. Complete your look with a statement piece of jewellery for the genuine Essentiel WOW effect. Get ready for a tropical summer! The collection is available from the end of January 2016 at Essentiel stores and online
