There are not so many German designers on the international market, let alone ones that are aimed towards a younger audience. Hugo Boss is predominantly the pioneering manufacturer of finely tailored suits… and more suits; while the fashion house of Escada, founded in 1978 by Swedish model/designer Margaretha Ley and husband Wolfgang Ley, continues aiming its market at the older generation, despite the fact that the interest of reaching out to the ‘daughter’ generation had been expressed several times before. For me, Strenesse succeeds in that area and that is distinctly evident in the Spring/Summer collection, which is so fresh and full of that youthful energy and attitude that is unique to the brand of Strenesse Gabriele Strehle. To me, part of that is possible because of the leggy Slovakian model Zuzana Gregorova. With a pair of bright sparkling eyes juxtaposed with big eyebrows and a kissable pout, Zuzanka’s look is no doubt unique and one of the most sought-after faces in the industry this season. Her expression, her poses and her body language are just spot on with the DNA of the German fashion brand in this photoshoot.
What I also like about this season is the vivid colour palette, which is exactly like the coming of spring and summer when everything comes alive. Particularly, colours like red chilli, sunshine yellow and forest green will surely make anyone stand out in a crowd and look incredible. These colours especially look great on satin which gives a soft silky touch that is perfect for a simple, sleek yet elegant look for a great night out.
For sure, this collection makes me yearn for spring to come even more!
