GABRIELE STREHLE

The work of Gabriele Strehle reflects a profound encounter with life as she perceives it. She is passionately devoted to quality both in terms of material and idea.

I always think the word philosophy is a bit too highbrow for fashion, but the expression lifestyle is simply too shallow. I prefer to think of it as an attitude to life,” says Gabriele Strehle.

“The aim isn’t for someone to dress in our products from top to toe. Quite the opposite: the self-confident women who are our typical customers would never dream of confusing brand worship with style,” she explains.

“But the diversity of our products establishes a kind of panorama: people feel what we feel and recognize what we are aiming for, without the need for us to announce our intentions,” Strehle explained.

For Gabriele Strehle, whose passion applies not only to uncompromising quality of materials and fabrics, but also to the quality of ideas has found perfect place between high fashion and just wearing clothes. And thus, her collections reveal sensuousness and intelligence, tinged with a longing for profundity, radiating a desire for depth.

Within the clamorous and the eccentric world of fashion, Gabrielle Strehle is one of the soft and subtle voices. Her work presents not only an outward appearance but above all, its own background as well.

Even if fashion is the focus of her life, Gabriele Strehle does not expect our busy and complex lifestyles to be centered on fashion only. To Gabriele Strehle, the Strenesse woman has responsibilities and has well-defined priorities.

Hence, Gabriele Strehle does not assume nor expect the Strenesse woman to dress herself with Strenesse items from head to toe. With Gabriele Strehle’s innate understanding of people with multi-faceted life to whom her aesthetics appeal, brand worship does not exist or is allowed.

PHILIP LIM COLLECTION NEW YORK 2011

The temperature is steadily climbing to the infernal end of the thermometer in New York, so it was a breezy relief to enter Phillip Lim Garment District showroom and find "the beginnings of a quintessential summer wardrobe" (albeit one that doesn't hit stores until November). Translation: loose layers and relaxed silhouettes.

That's not to say Lim has caught the caftan fever that's going around. The designer added shape and chic to his Resort collection by focusing strongly on the waist, adding drawstrings to jumpsuits and cropped parkas and paper-bag closures to tiny shorts. Sometimes, his fascination got the better of him, as in a couple of harem pants whose wraparound sashes gave unnecessary heft. But overall, Lim's downtown clientele will find much to love. Colors are cooler—sky blue, white, sand, mint, and cream—though bursts of hot poppy and marigold appear here and there. Beasts (that is, leopard and ponyhair motifs) joined those flower colors to suggest a nature theme. But in the end, it will all feel right at home on city streets. That ponyhair is print, not skin, to give the look without the heat.

ALEXANDRE HERCHCOVITCH

Alexandre Herchcovitch is syncing up with American retailers and getting in on the annual Resort race. His debut vacation collection was much sweeter than what we're used to seeing from the Brazilian designer—if anything, this was a total 180 from his somber Fall lineup. While a high-necked shift with a dainty but sparse floral print and conservative sleeves came across as almost chaste, foxy bustier tops also popped up a few times; and a crepe de chine dress with corsetlike seaming at the bust that appeared to be layered over a sheer black T-shirt was actually just one piece. Other noteworthy looks included silver cropped pants knotted at the natural waistline for a flattering fit and a shrunken jacket with faintly blouson sleeves that paired like a dream with a matching pencil skirt in pearlized, pastel jacquard. All in all, Herchcovitch maybe played it too safe. But these cute and feminine pieces could very well sell better than the maverick designer's
