CARNIVALE Winter '09
Michael Pattison invites you to run away with the circus!
The Carnivale inspired collection takes a peek at the rich and colourful characters of a twisted traveling circus. The collection is strong and directional offering a variety of exquisite signature pieces that will capture the curiosity of the creature in you.
Drawing elements from traditional circus costume through to the contemporary style of Cirque Du Soleil; the collection has a grungy street feel to complement the immaculate tailoring and accessible silhouettes that have become Pattison's signature.
The juxtaposition of decadence and grunge is realized in an inky palette of midnight blues punctuated by seductive tones of ruby and purple. Structured ruffles, quirky prints and innovative use of striped inserts make subtle references to the world of the circus.
Consistent with Pattison's passion for quality fabrics; signature textiles include an exclusive vintage silk crepe print and gorgeous engineered merino stripe combined with velvet, tartan, denim and wool jacquard to indulge the eclectic sultry world of Carnivāle.
