DIMITRI’s autumn/winter 2011 collection is characterised by a skilful mix of subtle, unfussy shapes and playful, yet understated details such as pleats.
Many of Dimitri’s dresses are inspired by the 1970s. Some are made of silk chiffon, others of leather; some are long and dramatic, others short and sexy – but they all lend the woman wearing them an appealing feminine allure. He uses only materials of the finest quality such as silk, crêpe de chine, wool and fur, underlining the simple elegance of his designs.
The colours are restrained yet arresting, his use of accessories subtle yet striking. Dimitri likes to play with opposites like hard/soft and innocent/provocative, and his Mediterranean roots are always evident – making his clothes the perfect embodiment of fashion MADE IN ITALY. His designs evoke associations of feminine beauty and lightness, and yet they are always eminently wearable.
