Andrea Karg showed spring-summer collection 2016 for house and brand Allude on 7 of October in Paris. This collection focused on the body’s core in all its diversity. Gently wrapped and folded cashmere creates unseen knitted surfaces which are playfully combined with flared skirts featuring elements of linen and denim to produce a consistent silhouette. The deconstruction of the individual creations underlies the concept of the collection. The collection uses the art of knitting to reveal the seemingly incomplete and imperfect and thus gives insight into details that otherwise remain hidden. Creative director Andrea Karg’s joy of experimentation is also echoed in the use of high quality cashmere blends that support the knitted structures – forever banishing the corset and anything that constricts from your wardrobe.

“I drew my inspiration from the fascinating fossils of organic fibres, which appealed to me so acutely that I translated their shapes into soft and flowing cashmere structures and surfaces without losing their dynamism and strength. I want to breathe lightness and movement into these shapes this way to make them wearable. I brought some of the shapes to life quite specifically with jewellery” said designer. Allude prides itself on the achievement of the perfect mix between comfort and trend. The luxury brand’s high international fan base can be attributed to its brilliant structure and comfort.
