Louise Armstrup Spring/Summer 2012 Collection

Armstrup’s inspiration centres on hot summer afternoons in New York City and the character of Iris in the 1976’s film ‘Taxi Driver’
 
The colour palette reflects the hot summer with warm bright orange, and sun bleached colours of sandy peach, powder lilac, asphalt blue pairing with cooler whites and navy.
 
Print is of New York streets, especially the yellow cab.

The collection has a mix of masculinity and girliness. 
Girliness with touches of short pleated gym slips over longer skirts and dresses.

Masculinity in the forms of the peach A-line bouclé coat with its lilac suede raglan sleeves and the cropped boucle drainpipe trousers.

Loving the silk New York traffic printed shorts.

Finsk has collaborated with Armstrup and used the same colour palette in a collage effect on a fender wedge shoe as a nod to the New York print.
