The season was spring/summer 2003. That was the season when I first discovered the magical fantastic world of Fashion and you know what? Cacharel was one of the first houses that I first loved. At least 5 whole years have passed and lots have occurred to my life as well as within the France-based fashion house with the change of appointment in creative director twice. Although Cacharel has been quite quiet recently, evident of this is that the collections have unfortunately not been featured on style.com since Spring/Summer 2003 (link), the house does not cease to produce things that I simply adore.

This season’s show, under the creative direction of the designer duo of Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto of the British label “Eley Kishimoto”, is opened by the leggy Russian model Diana Farkhullina in a black and grey stripped dress with a matching cap in platform heels. Following this is an array of clothes that perfectly encapsulates the freshness of youth and the sense of nostalgia to relive those sweet spring days under the embrace of mother nature, as beautiful girls with their natural beauty shining through walk down the runway with a sweet shy smile.

The prints this season are unique with great graphic details. Floral prints and watercolour are two major focuses with the former shown in vivid colours that truly brings a sense of life and romance; while the latter brings the beach and its calming sea breeze to you no matter where you are and how stressed out you are.

Furthermore, there are beautiful dresses that are simple but very stylish, modern and chic. They look great during the day time or for the evening time. I like the white dress, which the adorable British model Imogen Morris Clarke wears and the black dress, which the Russian doll Anastasia Krivosheeva wears. The white dress has this soft white embossed prints on it that are almost invisible and cute kangaroo pockets in the front; and the black dress has a sort of A-line shape with a graphical collar. Both of them look great on any day all year around.
