ETHNO-URBAN
By Sedef Kokcuoglu
LA, October 25 - Heike Jarick�s describes her new body of work as "savage gypsies in the urban lagoon." However quite contrary to what her proclamation suggests Jarick�s creations, animated by metropolitan as well as multi-cultural inspirations, are essentially romantic, opulent constructions cast in luxurious fabrics. In fact none of the pieces in this collection, disbarring a transparent python motorcycle jacket, can be described as "savage". The designer�s layered crinkle cotton tops, iridescent kimono jackets, hand knit caplets, smocked front halter dresses and taffeta skirts are sophisticated clothes that resonate with an international sensibility.
This season Fashionlines� favorite piece ala Heike Jarick is a teal draped and gathered silk jersey dress amplified by a sizzling back decollate. However if you wish to explore new boundaries, celebrate distant cultures and stand out from the crowd we recommend that you sport a Victorian bolero in African tapestry.
