It’s all about love in the A/W-12 women and children’s collection by Danish fashion brand Soft Gallery. The new collection is named "LOVE is" and it features the tender care from a series of commis- sioned artists, who has decorated styles in a fashion that combines warm autumn thoughts with the tenderness of mystical fairy tales and enchanted forests.
“Without love there would not be as much art, inspiration and af- fection. In our latest "LOVE is " collection we encourage people to dress to uplift the change of the season”, says fashion photographer and designer Barbara Hvidt, who together with designer Tine Holt Møller founded Soft Gallery in 2007 initiated by a shared interest in art and creative collaboration
Among the "LOVE is" motives you will find warmly dressed animals, which strolls hand in hand in the woods. In this forest strange super- natural creatures like fauns and fables emerge. Quirky animals with their own style and mood are walking in the deep woods, investiga- ting, looking for traces and magic mushrooms.
Loving couples protect themselves from the autumn rain under their umbrellas, while rain and wind whirls the autumn leaves. Lovers walk hand in hand, as enchanted animals appear from the woods, shouting, screaming looking for a partner to sheer the hibernation with. They all come together. To be together. To stick together in love.
The "LOVE is" collection is characterized by the warmth of autumn colours: Mustard, sombre blue, aubergine, salt & pepper melange mixes, plum, dusty rose, warm grey & black. It all works beautifully with the colourful artworks and all-over prints. A smoky I love u is in the air, a romantic couple is holding hand; a bear accompanies a cuddling group of friends with tie and a rabbit with bow. Mysteri- ous foot steps, a poisonous mushroom, a fox with an eye patch, a penguin with a tuxedo jacket, an owl with a raincoat and a hand embroidered umbrella, the classic soft gallery owl and peacock with beautiful feathers are part of the enchanted universe. Multi faces with big black glasses appear along side with a girl beneath a rainy cloud... not happy with the weather.
In the new collection you also will find more for the boys. Wide tone in tone striped pants, shirts in double sided checks, T-shirts, and jackets, rough reverse sweatshirts as well as chunky multi melange sweats.
Among the new items for girls and grown ups are oversized knitted cardigans and hats. The silhouettes feature nicely rounded shapes
that are accompanied by ruffles, beautiful detailing and subtle pip- ing. Trousers and tops and dresses with feminine collars, frills and pleats combined with a graphic and simple silhouettes.
The Basic Two-tone series come in new beautiful muted colours: T-shirts and dresses that match the colours of the falling raindrops. Cool shirts, hoodies and baggy pants, a sweat tuxedo jacket for the boys and beautiful tops with artworks by the various brilliant artists
The home collection continues and consists of the hand drawn owl bed sheets and decorative pillows and with new inspiring motives for babies, kids and adults.
For every new collection Tine Holt Møller and Barbara Hvidt, com- mission different significant visual artists to create pieces or collabo- rate on certain themes, which is then translated into a collection.
The Soft Gallery’s collection has this season been fashioned by the talented artists:
Lissa Thimn, Phillip Zurmuhle, Jenny Mortsell, Lisa Grue, Helene Møberg Johansen, Kitt Maria Stuart Schwenn, Pretty Little Thieves and Claire Scully.
