ATELIER MILADA by Ann Boogaerts at AFW

ATELIER MILADA by Ann Boogaerts presented "Brouillard bleu" fall 2013 collection. Beautiful, elegant and rich collection with handcrafted details and textures.

This FALL 2013 collection is based on the story of a young princess who wants to escape from her room at her parents' castle. The mother of the girl decided at birth that her favorite color, blue, should be very important in the life of her newborn daughter. Consequently, the chamber of the princes was completely blue, beyond a few gold ornaments: her sheets of Egyptian cotton were blue, her embroidered handkerchiefs were in a shade of blue, her hair bands were blue, her underwear was blue and even her hair was blue.
On the morning of her eighteenth birthday, while everyone was still asleep, the princess decides to escape and climbs out of her window. She runs into the garden in search of other colors ... She runs into the lawns covered with a thick layer of fog. Slowly her blue dresses and petticoats are changing color. They obtain depth, or become richer and the fabrics get color accents of the swirling petals. Her beautiful leather shoes are handmade by the renown Belgian company "Belgian Shoes".
