KEY FABRICS & DETAILS

SATIN, TWEED & GINGHAM

THEY KEY FABRICS WITHIN THE BARBIE X CHANEL RANGE ARE TWEED AND SATIN. TWEED WAS AN OBVIOUS CHOICE, BEING ONE OF CHANEL'S SIGNATURE AND EVER PRESENT FABRICS BUT AS TWEED HAS A LOT OF TEXTURE AND PATTERN I CHOSE TO PAIR IT WITH A LUSTRIOUS AND SHINY SATIN, TO GIVE THE RANGE MOVEMENT AND VARIATION. BOTH OF THESE FABRICS ARE TIMELESS AND WHEN PAIRED TOGETHER I FEEL THEY CREATE THE ULTIMATE ELEGANT AND FEMININE TONE OF VOICE FOR THE RANGE.

PATTERNS SUCH AS THIS SUBTLE GINGHAM EXAMPLE THAT WILL BE PRESENT THROUGHOUT THE RANGE

WGSN STATES THAT AN UPLIFTING TEXTURE AND COLOUR MIX UPDATES SUMMER TWEEDS – A KEY AREA FOR YOUTH-FOCUSED SEPARATES (WGSN, 2023), PROVING THE COMMERCIALITY OF THIS FABRIC WITHIN THE RANGE IN THE CHOSEN ITEMS AND COLOUR PALETTE.

THE FABRICS WILL ALTERNATE THROUGHOUT THE RANGE, DEPENDING ON GARMENT AND COLOUR.

THE TWEED WILL BE AVAILABLE IN VARIOUS PASTEL GINGHAMS FROM THE CHOSEN COLOUR PALETTE.
