Pol Núñez, Balenciaga and Missoni have returned to SIMOF with a collection full of vitalism and explicit references to big names in fshion, from Chanel to Kenzo, and including Elsa Schiaparelli. A very eclectic picture full of surprises...
Núñez's very dynamic fashion show was divided into short series of dresses with a lot of character and highly conceptual. If Pol Núñez has anything, it is the aptitude for bring together different sectors of the market with classic exigency, from young women and older ladies, fashionistas and customers, and to fulfill all of their expectations. This has great merit and achieves such fluid and entertaining inspirations as hippie and Bohemia chic combined with the traditional flamenco outfit.
This year emphasized a series of dresses inspired by Coco Chanel, great creations in beige, black and pink. There were also nuclear white, retrofuturist dresses with applications in homage to Courreges, along with experimental short dresses may not be ideal for classic flamencas, but they were an enterteining exercise in needlework that shone in more festive contexts.
