Valentino
“Luxury is not a whim, but a way of life” - this is the motto of the new collection of the famous Italian, which arrived in the boutique this week. Apparently, Valentino is changing course - now the famous fashion house is counting on younger and more advanced customers. Both daytime and evening dresses look luxurious and very sensual. And formal dresses and cocktail dresses are downright haute couture: long, sophisticated, pale pink or passionate red, abundantly decorated with sequins and beads. The clothes for the office are defiantly impressive - blouses, skirts and trousers in a deliberately casual and typically Italian style. Swimsuits and beachwear are either in classic black and white or fiery red. Particular attention is paid to accessories. New bags are embroidered with sequins, beads, and straws. Almost all shoes are high heels. And the belts are richly decorated with rhinestones in the shape of a snake. The real hits are the light turquoise jumpsuit with beads and the dark brown top with soft leather leaves sewn over the finest chiffon. Prices - from $100 to $10 thousand.

Depeche mode
The multi-brand boutique has new collections from Sonia Rykiel, Caractere and Cristina Effe. They contain things that you simply cannot do without this summer. For example, elegant trouser suits made of beige and light brown silk by Cristina Effe. The Sonia Rykiel collection features cotton T-shirts in yellow, pink and fuchsia, as well as pleated minis similar to those worn in the early 1980s. Caractere has many leisure models in white, red, terracotta and gold tones. Almost the entire summer wardrobe of the Italian brand, which top model Carla Bruni loves to advertise, is built on contrasts. White capri pants are paired with tight-fitting red knit T-shirts, and conversely, red capri pants are shown with crisp white sweaters and loose-fitting pullovers. It’s easy to choose the right shoes from the Spanish brand Mosguitos to match your clothes. Beige and brown open-toe clogs are especially good. Prices range from $60 to $500.

Jean-Claude Jitrois
The summer collection of Jean-Claude Jitrois includes jackets, frock coats, skirts, vests, trousers made of suede, leather and stretch leather. All things are of high quality, but without any special frills. They are for those who love classics and pathos: fitted silhouettes, small shoulders, large buttons and pockets. However, there are also quite nice non-standard things. For example, an office jacket made of calfskin the color of baked clay looks very funny and new. Branded dresses and miniskirts made of dark brick suede, decorated with fashionable cowboy fringe, look no less cute. Prices - from $780 to $2 thousand.

"Nostalgia"
This week, some of the new collections Penny Pull and Penny Black, Biblos Blue, Kenzo and Gabriele Strehle will appear in the trading house - clothes and shoes made from natural, environmentally friendly fabrics. Democratic and stylish items are made in fashionable burgundy and lemon tones and salmon color. Linen two-pieces and sundresses from Gabriele Strehle and silk blouses and blouses from Penny Pull look old-fashioned romantic. But they can easily be combined with aggressively modern leather trousers from Biblos (with perforated hems) and bright oriental-style jumpers from Kenzo. Prices range from $100 to $700.

Christian Lacroix
For Christian Lacroix this summer, it seems that simple and elegant bright dresses, skirts and blouses made of silk and viscose fabrics are important. The tones are predominantly hot pink, black and green. Lots of fuchsia - often combined with red: the representative of Southern France is again in his element this summer and generously combines the colors that have brought him luck in the past. However, part of the new collection is a clear reminder of the styles and decor of the 1950s and the colorful, lush outfits of European bohemians vacationing on the Cote d'Azur. For ladies who prefer softer tones, Lacroix suggests celebrating summer in soft blue. All - $500-6000.

Kenzo
Another batch of clothes from the new collections Kenzo Paris, Kenzo Jangle and Kenzo Jeans has appeared in the company boutique. As always, there are a lot of clothes made from natural silk, cotton and linen. Spring raincoats and summer sundresses look very impressive. Light green, lilac and blue raincoats are made of soft leather with a pearlescent sheen. Sundresses are entirely linen, but in fashionable purple, pink, green, brown and gold tones. The rest of the clothes, as usual, are made in etnique's signature style. This summer, the House of Kenzo especially appreciates Chinese and Indian motifs - bright oriental stripes and checks, as well as beaded and silk embroidery. The design of the new accessories is reminiscent of the purely oriental habit of decorating belts and bags with gold embossing. Prices - from $70 to $3 thousand.

Morgan
Fans of the dynamic youth style will have to be rockers, punks, cowboys, and Barbie at the same time. Because choosing just one thing this summer means limiting the freedom of improvisation (and Morgan designers strongly advise against this). The new collection features bright and cheerful colors and large optical patterns. Spring hits include jeans with tiger motifs and black trousers with ruffles that fit tightly around the hips. And at the same time, they remind you that you need to be in shape, since this summer gold knitted tops and sundresses with sequins can no longer be hidden under voluminous blouses, but will have to be shown to others along with a chiseled figure. As does the bright top, copying the colors and pattern of the British flag. Prices: $50-250.

Versace
It seems that Donatella Versace now pays close attention to fabrics. Much of the signature clothing arriving at the boutique this week is made from taffeta, silk silk, gabardine and the famous Panama cotton. The theme of gold and luxury in everything. Short jackets, tight trousers, ruffled dresses and skirts look very sexy. The emphasis is on unusual color combinations, but there are also many items in white, black, turquoise, gold and hot pink. Very fashionable - floral and geometric designs. The favorites of the season and the House of Versace are swimsuits, especially knitted models in “Hawaiian” tones. Prices - $400-6000.

Angel
The boutique has new arrivals of spring-summer clothing from D & G, Ferre, Exte, Moschino. Democratic and very comfortable things for active and confident people. Leather jackets and Santa Croce trousers with white stripes are decorated with transparent sequins, a delicate cream silk blouse is decorated with exquisite embroidery, and knitted summer suits from Plein Sud Jeans are decorated with dark red velvet piping. The Patrizia Pepe shalwars look funny, but they are still far from the military-style trousers from Jet`Adore and other uniforms that have become the most fashionable clothing of the coming summer. Prices range from $120 to $600.
