With a fresh burst of Parisienne chic and the sound of energetic rock music, the power of femininity, sexiness and mystery is seamlessly woven into Sirivannavri & S'Homme Automne-Hiver 2021/2022 collection titled "The Other Side Of Midnight".
The story begins on a silent winter night in Paris where a fierce, sexy lady in faux crocodile leather top boots emerges. Walking along Pont Neuf, by the banks of the Seine River, to Cheval Blanc hotel, she carries her black crocodile handbag with a touch of French mystique, as if she wishes to be unnoticeable.
Upon arrival, she takes off her leopard coat, revealing a white satin bustier dress with black lace details and all the men at Lim Bar turn their heads, captivated by her tremendous, seductive charm.
Her striking outfit with beautiful pieces of jewellery from the new collection was unveiled at a fashion show staged at Central Courtyard, Four Seasons Hotel last Monday evening.
"This latest collection represents women empowerment and sensuality. It also shows a sense of modernity and contrast, with unique styling attitudes and layering techniques. A lace bustier dress is paired with a leather coat and innerwear tailoring techniques are used on outerwear pieces, yet the collection retains its elegant and sophisticated approach," said creative director HRH Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya.
"Signature silhouettes have been reanimated -- identifiable, yet different every time -- using luxurious and wintery materials such as tweed, Italian leather, brocade, duchess satin and French feathers."
The Princess also explained her new refined designs are marked with the contrast of masculine and feminine accents. They range from a tweed cropped jacket, a tweed coat, faux crocodile skin biker pants, a leather biker jacket worn over a black lace blouse with feather embroidery at the cuff and leather biker pants, a leather blazer paired with a black lace bustier dress, a metallic tweed cocktail dress with cut-out details to an asymmetrically draped evening gown in gold lamé and a halter neck dress in white satin and black lace, paired with long red Nappa gloves.
The spotlight shines on Sirivannavari Atelier and the Academy's marvellous embroidery and courtesy. The exquisite craftsmanship of the in-house workshop of couture embroidery is clearly visible from the feather embellishment on the lace blouse to the multicolour beads delicately embroidered on the lime green cocktail dress.
Graphic prints -- a key element of the brand's DNA -- remain a highlight. For this season, the Princess has created the signature print "Lucky S", featuring a debut of the monogram. This print is incorporated throughout the collection, including ready-to-wear items such as blouses, pants and scarves.
Another new design is a leopard print collage that features a leopard motif and S emblem with houndstooth details.
Inspired by the Princess' personal illustrations and sketches, the bijoux collection features a coin, clover leaves, a peacock, a bee, an eye, a houndstooth and the S logo. It embodies effortless grace and true individuality, evoking the sensual curves of a woman with a sense of fluidity.
Key pieces include a houndstooth ring, a mesh choker, a gold choker with coin pendants, chandelier earrings with baroque pearls and briolette crystal, loop earrings with a peacock emblem, and bangles with bee and peacock motifs.
An everyday look is complemented by the brand's Italian leather goods as well as this season's two-way carry bag. The signature bag can function as both a handbag with a top handle and a cross-body with a strap, leather and gold chain. It takes on an edgy and elegant attitude.
Another luxury handbag is a crocodile leather clutch, which is an ideal match for the new oversized belt with two S buckles.
Meanwhile, the shoe collection offers two iconic styles, ranging from faux crocodile leather top boots to crepe satin and crocodile leather stilettos that feature a layered S logo.
For this season, the eyewear collection presents a striking new round-shaped and oversized frame, with a peacock logo featured on the temple. The line of sunglasses has four new colours -- Tortoiseshell, Smoky Grey, Navy Blue and Bordeaux.
Alongside the 33 women's looks from the Sirivannavari brand, the fashion show had 11 looks for men.
The S'Homme menswear collection celebrates the refinement of a gentleman. Essential patterns are drawn upon and given a modern, elegant and casual twist with details of Parisienne style.
Main looks include a faux crocodile blazer, a four-pocket and drawstring-waist safari jacket in navy blue, and a wool bomber jacket in peanut brown paired with carrot pants, as well as an asymmetrical jacquard shawl collar suit in grey matched with a winked collared crisp white shirt.
Men's leather items comprise of lace-up shoes adorned with the S logo and faux crocodile loafers embellished with a metal peacock emblem, as well as a black crocodile tote bag.
