"Touch me - Detach me"

Dragana Perisic - Autumn Winter 05

"A candlelit concert at St. Martins in the Fields. The Iranian artiste Susan Deyhim is performing with Talvin Singh. Her ethereal voice begins pouring into the atmosphere... lifting up towards the vaulted heavens... I am struck by a higher beauty, a timeless elegance. flickering stained glass windows... unbearable lightness... a sense of eternal bliss... empowering... inspiring... ideas begin pouring into my head."

Dragana Perisic has created an Autumn/Winter collection for 2005 that reflects many disciplines including music, architecture, design and pure theatre.
As with all art, the more intensely you become involved with Dragana's collections, the greater the rewards. Her ninth collection, Autumn/Winter 2005, is no exception.

touch me
Dragana's influences and ideas are multi-layered and playful. Crafted from exquisite silks, jacquards and the softest wools using a colour palette of moody browns, black and aubergine with a sparkle of turquoise and green, each piece is designed to be transformed, again and again.

detach me
This is a pocket, now it's a purse belt. This collar parts to reveal a jewelled necklace. Floaty chiffon sleeves tie into a delicate collar. Jacket sleeves disappear to create a bodywarmer. Touch them, detach them. Play. Everywhere you look, with every move of the body, you will experience surprises and delights.

wear me

• brick coat and jacket
  A sculptural city coat in a soft brown wool jacquard, it features a softly delicate puff collar. The back is enhanced by a small panel in contrasting spotty and brick wool with matching ties that can either dangle temptingly or create a belt. The Brick cape jacket features a playful tie front.
  
• stone dress
  A small stone set in a hand-made suffolk puff takes the little black dress to another level.
  
• window dress
  Printed silk panels shine through layers of chiffon, glittering like stained glass windows in the night.
  
• antique-wool coat and trousers
  Two collars, one rounded and vintage 70's, the other pointed and sharp, turn this simple, wearable coat into a conversation piece. Tulip-shaped sculptural trousers delight with a buttoned half-belt across the wearer's bottom.
  
• poodle print skirt
  This beautiful, soft puffball skirt is enhanced by vintage 50's poodles skitting across elegant silk panels.
  
• haring top
  The renowned style of graffiti artist Keith Haring brings a touch of lightness and wit to this elegant boat-necked top.
