Petar Petrov Fall 2011 | Paris Fashion Week

as always with petar petrov the main concern is purity, simplicity and craftsmanship … this collection is all about finding new ways to combine fabrics and textures with impeccable cuts and shapes; it represents a modern aesthetic that is easily wearable and yet complex, a clean-lined elegance that doesn't try too hard … silhouettes are far looser, slightly oversized and all about layering … – a very special attention is given to all sorts of coatings (traditional scottish waxed cotton in particular) giving very interesting texture & colour effects which keep evolving as the garments are ageing and the more they are worn; these very structured and technical fabrics oppose to softer and almost rustic wools … also very present this season, ultra soft leather (either quilted for jackets and shirts or combined with hand knitted nepal baby alpaca wool for some strikingly modern jumpers) and generous fur (shearling for the outer garments or shaved lamb for the removable linings) … the colour palette is mainly dark (black, grey, navy, maroon) with touches of indigo, bordeaux or curry … hooded parka jackets, drop-crotch pleated trousers or leather jogging pants keep the petar petrov style pretty young & urban while fine tailoring and two-toned classic trousers give it a chic & grown up feel …
