Go on a style safari

MANILA, Philippines - Fashion is heading for a stylish safari with Warehouse’s spring-summer 2011 collection. This is most evident in its “Rainforest Warrior” line, one of eight selections featuring contrasting colors and silhouettes that blend into one collection. 

Wearable pieces with tribal and animal prints are truly iconic this season. They are laidback and playful, evoking a sophisticated woman amid the modern-day urban jungle.

Colors are vibrant including yellows, burnt oranges, gold, copper, green, blue and purple — summer hues that complement classic earthy tones. When mixed and matched with diverse animal prints, flora, fauna and swirls, the collection marries the classic with an unconventional, untamed look.

Pretty print-on-print ensembles, a camel wrap dress paired with tribal-print trousers and a scratchy print jacket look chic, offering a wide range of possibilities for updating your wardrobe. A smock blouse layered with a printed vest paired with belted chinos and sleek leather boots make for ideal daywear; for an evening party, try the ensemble with high-heeled shoes.

Layered poppy dresses are in. Dainty flower prints in vibrant colors make ultra-feminine frocks. Ruffled and swingy dresses can be paired with a woven waist belt and knitted cardigan. A mustard cowl asymmetric dress, accessorized with an African animal-print scarf and skinny belt, drapes and flatters the body. A western shirt, tied and matched with a turned-up mini denim short and a vintage link belt, is a dynamic combination for a casual, sexy and rugged look.
