Special Impressions:

Golas for Swan Necks
The designers are inspired by the Spanish Baroque of the XVI and XVII. Nicolas Ghesquière, Marc Jacobs and Stefano Pilati took over from Coco Chanel, Balenciaga and Christian Dior lead the taste for elegant and sophisticated woman. The swan neck, long and slim, has always been the symbol of the more subtle beauty. This winter, designers look to the past and fix their attention to this part of the body, drawing on the necks of lettuce own clothing usually affluent classes of the XVI and XVII.

The ornaments are Golas covering luxury and beautiful neck of the woman. The creators of this gateway have rescued an austere piece of Spanish baroque and have applied with their sumptuous creations. Both dressed in long coats of thick tweed extends to finish in necks gathered, folded to form pleats or double wheel.

Dolce & Gabanna
Some designers like Viktor & Rolf, Ralph Lauren and Missoni raised Golas and lettuce loose necks, carefully selecting materials such as tulle, silk, cloth, wool or tweed. Dolce & Gabanna abullonado uses a high-neck scarf loose in the form of flight for Josefina style clothing while Louis Vuitton incorporates dual wheel directly on the jacket.

If you sum this trend, try your dress or coat is straight cut and gathered for the fly to focus solely on the neck area. The shirt sleeves are a key point and also supports Chorreras RUFFLES. If you do not even dare to wear a gola, you can take the concept of this trend and apply it to foulards, scarves and handkerchiefs to attract attention to your neck in a more tailored to your taste and style.
