Sarabanda Spring/Summer 2011 catwalk report at Pitti Bimbo

Sarabanda presented two of the biggest trends at Pitti Bimbo: nautical and the Fifties. The nod to the Fifties' theme included sharp accesorising, with cute trilbys, bags and bows. Styling saw collars worn up, cotton stripe and check scarves were worn nonchalantly knotted around necks and wrists. Most looks sported knee-high shorts, turned up, for both boys and girls. A charming black-and-white Chanel inspired suit was modernised with jersey fabric and, for boys, a cute union jack scarf looked dashing. The collection drifted into a casual and sportier feel, combat shorts for the boys, matched with patterned T-shirts, while the girls sported feminine rouched blouses with distressed denim. A mixed collection catering for varying customers.
