Port Summer 05 Cape to Capri collection
CAPE TO CAPRI
Craig has pulled together the atmospheres of two of his favourite playtime port’s-Capri, playground of the glamorous- and his home Cape Town-loafing spot for off-set Hollywood stars-into a twenty-first-century, modern, iridescent mood of summer fun.
The collection reflects an idealistic vision of a new modernism that is refreshing in the face of tried and tested retro. It’s edgy and contemporary in its cut and fit; classic and balanced in the choice of texture and colour.
Be inspired by the clarity of perspective on the past and a sharp, cutting vision of the future with a range that fits the ‘present’ perfectly.
The lush European summer with heady splashes of bougainvillea and hibiscus, moody trattoria night and indulgent speed-yachting days on blue waters inspired a crisp daywear range-Capri Days-dominated by navies, blues, crimson and gold liberally banded onto gorgeous cottons. The new Capri is laid bare in edgy, evocative neutrals and brave brights.
Cape Town inspired the lush summer energy that keeps locals and visitors alike partying brightly into the early hours of the morning. Cape Town Nights features cool blacks streaked with apple greens, lemons, fuchsias and oranges- a holographic inversion of the laid back cobbled streets of Capri and nothing less than a sexy rainbow fusion of uber-slick party gear for the man of now. Finally ahead of the pack-Cape Town is celebrated in all of its futuristic wonder.
Craig and Legendary couturier Errol Arendz have also created an added bonus-a trio of dresses, Ms Port, that reflect the strong, sexy attitude of the twenty-first century women accustomed to dashing in and out of port without losing her shimmering edge.
