LORIS DIRAN presents NOCTURNAL BLOSSOMS collection for Spring 2009
LORIS DIRAN will present his Spring 2009, NOCTURNAL BLOSSOMS, for the opening of his first flagship boutique located in New York’s sizzling new Bowery District at 3 EAST 1st STREET on February 6th, 2009.
This spring 2009 collection features both Men’s and Women’s items, and was inspired by the startling and provocative series of Art photography of Flowers created by the late 80’s legend, ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE and reflects the artist’s dark vision of intricate floral silhouettes.
Petals and blossom shapes emerge in hues of shimmering pewter, iridescent jet, and pearlescent cream, all accented by a splash of startling Magenta, creating a striking view of floral beauty that has little to do with the standard use of these delicate forms and never literal.
“Deciding to create my first boutique in New York’s Bowery district has made me re-evaluate how I view elegance. I feel my collections should now have a sense of proportion and detail that is somewhat ‘Left of center’. I want to take something that is classically demure and give it a touch of eclectism.”
Raw silk Herringbone and superfine Cashmere Twill is cut super slim and shrunken for menswear, as Neck lines and hems blossom from cotton organdy and iridescent chiffon in unnatural metallic tones for women’s wear, creating a sense of something sensual and darkly alluring.
