My Vitrina: First Look: AIGNER A/W 2014 Women's Collection

Love and passion for craftsmanship are the source of inspiration of the Aigner Autumn/Winter 2014 collection.The focus is on handmade, care for details and sophisticated designs, combining the charm of tradition with sensibilities belonging to our current time.

This season, Head of Design Christian Beck takes us on a journey which leads to the discovery of the heritage of the Munich-based Maison combined with a contemporary taste, bringing to life garments with elegant silhouettes, mostly slim, with transparencies which infuse a touch of sensuality; a haute couture style for a collection of extremely feminine dresses, elegant and important, also in the evening gown versions.Many garments are in combed yarn, in contrast with Duchesse silk, transparent jersey and ultra-soft leather used for various styles.The selected tones are black, indigo blue, cognac, clay and red.

The love for accessories and the aroma of leather, which identify the brand are in the air.The Leather Collection combines the charm of handmade craftsmanship with their current reality.Studio Artigiano is a statement of classic tailoring, demonstrating that change and tradition can coexist in a masterly way.Every single creation from the bag collection tells the story of its origins and unifies contrasts thanks to a cohesive design: technology and modern styles are combined through knowledgeable expertise.

Head of Design draws from the exclusive inheritance of the brand and infuses new life into models coming from the Aigner archives.Each of the luxury bags reflects the Aigner DNA: fine craftsmanship, exclusive leathers and vintage looks meet modern materials; cool effect XL zippers and embossed graphic effects.The sophisticated closures are one of the highlights of the line.On the new creations, classic click locks are presented as striking and luxurious decorative details.

The Cybill Bag, Aigner's it-bag, will be presented in different styles and shapes.In grain leather or with a special cube leather effect, with a small front saddle bag or in a Cybill Clutch version.A new feminine model of an attaché in crocodile print has been introduced, with a glossy and shiny surface, or in pony-fur.

The collection also reflects the complex interplay between timelessness and current trends in the colour palette: classic onyx black, marble white and dark magenta, earthy vacchetta, cuoio and clay brown, coexisting with strong hues such as ruby red, indigo blue and emerald green.
