Monnalisa S/S 2008: “Little woman…turn trendy”
MONNALISA S/S 2008: “LITTLE WOMEN…TURN TRENDY”!
Stripes, colours, daisies, plissé, ribbons, girly attitude and tradition are the distinctive features of the
new Monnalisa collections. The Chic line, designed for the most refined occasions and for special
ceremonies, is inspired by romanticism: flowers, gentle and delicate tones, white daisies enriching the
most elegant dresses, pretty t-shirts, miniskirts with flounces and leggings, just what “little women”
need to be fashionable. Azure-on-white prints for dresses resembling Chinese porcelains, with a
comeback of the extremely romantic, though absolutely contemporary, smock point. Old rose and
sage green, with tone-on-tone flowers and overlays. All garments express the unmistakable
Monnalisa spirit, where elegance is never retrò or taken for granted, but rather takes on new fashion
declinations drawing from the fashion shows of little girls’ trendiest and most fashionable mothers.
Clear and linear though also romantic lines, and many references to Disney club cartoons for the
Ny&Lon collection, Monnalisa’s more sporty line. The central theme is white, fresh, fun, with flaunces,
ribbons, azure and touches of melange gray. Vague marine echoes and a sparkling flair. Star prints,
miniskirts with flaunces and many jersey babycord dresses with puff skirts in romantic azure tulle.
The Monnalisa line, designed for girls between 2 and 12, draws inspiration from the world of
fairytales, with elegant and light details. Degradée bright roses and plenty of dots for the “Candy Girl”
theme, which draws from Alice in the Wonderland. “Gold touches”: white as the main colour, and lots
of gold, also in an ironic and fun version, with pretty prints.
All-over patterns and a 1950s-style freshness, with flounced tops and prints, with lots of blue and the
friendly image of Donald Duck. “Bella vista”, a truly Italian theme, is dominated by red and white
ribbons. White, black and pink for the “Bon Chic” theme, paillettes and beautiful San Gallo lace with
constrating black-on-white embroideries.
A vintage and joyful spirit characterizes the Jakioo line. Sylvester the Cat is the undisputable hero of
most prints, with black with white dots, paillettes and patchwork patterns. Gold lace touches for an
elegant “Brilliant Girl” , shorts and gold prints. Brown tones fading into hazelnut, silver paillettes, basic
gray and the friendly image of the Seven Dwarfs dominate decorations. Chamois fringes alternate
white San Gallo laces in dresses and skirts.
The Bebè line is extremely sweet. White and red, with lots of ladybirds, to enliven flowery and
delicate fabrics.
“The puppies’ garden”: a fresh and happy pic-nic in the open air. White and blue for “Metropolitan
cuddles”. “Sweet vintage” is permeated by old rose touches, with prints as delicate as French
tapestries, softened by the unmistakable sweetness of Bamby.
