Dubai, UAE, October 23, 2016: For Fall 2016, the Carven woman takes inspiration from her recent trip to Kathmandu and is still driven by the energy of her incredible journey. She possesses souvenirs from a trek that took her up into the very top of the Himalayas. In her attitude, an unexpected and esoteric mix of influences is combined and balanced by her Parisian flair. A year since their debut at the house, Adrien Caillaudaud and Alexis Martial offer a stronger focus for their international Carven woman. The seventies and nineties provide references for this traveler with a sense of fresh elegance. Her silhouettes are worn belted at the waist or with the ease of a loose hip-hugging pant. Colors, textures and details are perfectly combined to create a journey of extremes, from urban to ethnic and retro to futuristic. Layering of tweeds, knits, shearling, sequins and lace provide contrast that evoke both the traditional wardrobe for a high terrain and an idea of protection through sport-inspired garments, such as a fitted vinyl jacket. Culture references are seen throughout the collection with earth tones playing against acid shades and with the mixing of details. Charms and talismans are an integral part of each look from an astrological amulet to bracelets, and button-covers done in colored stone. Bags and shoes further complete her look. Boots done with a triangular heel evoke a mystical triangle. With the Full Joy bag—a bucket and backpack hybrid—carried on one arm, she is ready to embark on her next journey.
