The Stephane Kelian Spring/Summer 2010 collection is an act of defiance against the pervasive gloom, with its vibrant feminine colours and some gorgeous sporty styling.

This collection features plenty of woven elements, with all-over weaves, small woven motifs, herringbone jacquard details, and jewelled braided cord. The collection evokes a journey through Brazil, from the festive spirit of Rio de Janeiro, dancing to the rhythms of the samba, to running along the beaches of Ipanema, or wandering around the futuristic architecture of Brasilia.

The tropical colours and natural wood finishes add to the celebratory mood. The finest quality materials are combined to perfection, whether patterned or unadorned for a sleeker look :
