PARIS, Oct 4, 2005/ FW/ --- Claire Campbell for the super active French duo Marithé & Francois Girbaud journeys through a glass maze of modernity that is synergized with girly floral in a world where dreamlike handmade gardens are abstract.

Ruskin is stated on press notes ‘Industry without art is brutality; life without industry is guilt’ and Cambell’s world is a spring summer 2006 of cascading asymmetry and fluid movement.

Functional is every way; volume is a game of give and take contrasted against reworked super light trenches and tailored slim jackets and waistcoats with softened masculine lines.

Treetop delicate, rustic and rough, Girbaud combines remarkable fabric research with ideal modernity. Laser cut and designed floral fills feminine gaps as light and colour burst into glorious spring.

Fishtail hemlines, kneepads on casual trousers and happy hippy stripes, these wandering gypsies dance in a relaxed silhouette made up of a robust ménage of shape and style to create distinct uniqueness.

In the urban jungle imagination is a twist of fate, ruffled ideals and light that peeps as colour and bright ideas.
