PARIS, Oct 4, 2004/ FW/ -- Tim Van Steenbergen brought to the drawing table "nonchalance chic" from a rehabilitated glamorous 1970s.

With rigid pleated mini skirts, palazzo like pants worn ultra low rise, draped over halter bustier, loosely worn draped ultra low V-neck sweater and the addition of scarf worn on a hat to complete that chic look.

Palettes of soft pink, lilac, grey, white, black and deep dark blue in contrast with brown and sandy natural tones.

Presented in luxe soft silks and cottons that swayed and flowed endlessly with each step delivering that sexy chic look.

Considered a name to watch during the Spring 2004 season, Tim Van Steenbergen did not disappoint his audience with this collection.

While today is just the first day of the Paris Pręt-a-Porter show and most of the journalists and photographers opted for an “easy day” at the shows, the young designer presented his collection to a full capacity crowd at the Louvre.
