Drawing influence and inspiration from global cultures, Johnstons of Elgin’s spring/summer collection creates a dynamic mix of rich, vibrant colours and pattern.
The womenswear mainline collection comprises screen printed knits that are inspired by ikat and dip dye techniques which celebrate traditional hand crafted processes.
Colour blocking is a strong trend; it appears in new forms for this season with a penchant for clashing effects.
Simple twinsets are updated and inspired by the colours found in tropical landscapes, bright fuchsias and violets which are teamed with soft tones such as mint green producing a striking effect. Summer scarves take on a statement role incorporating pops of bright colour, bold stripes.
A new development for the season is the production of a new luxurious fibre. A superfine blend of extra fine wool, silk, and cashmere, which results in a yarn that is extremely soft and has excellent draping qualities.
Colours of the season take on a sophisticated vibe with pastel tones in oyster, flax and khaki, bold and bright rainbow shades in poppy red, tangerine and fuchsia alongside classic resort shades such as indigo denim and crisp white.
