Monique Collignon is one of Holland’s top designers. She knows better than anyone how a woman likes to see herself: sexy and daring, yet also chic. Collignon is inspired by the young and sophisticated working girl with a rich social life. She has been producing a ready-to-wear line in addition to haute couture collections. This Autumn/Winter “09/’10 collection comes in 3 color themes and 60 styles. Daytime dresses that are also suitable after working hours-, elegant suits with skirts, trousers and stylish cocktail and evening dresses- as always this collection, which also has many tops, is ultimately feminine. The collection has a chic, young and relaxed feel, partly as a result of exciting blends of materials in petrol blue, magenta, olive and golden beige. It goes without saying that this unmistakably “Collignon” collection contains a great deal of black and white. Her design is the constant development of her ideas, impressions and emotions. Her inspiration can be found everywhere: street scenes, architecture, a good book, music, art, and travel experiences. During the creative process she first allows herself to be guided by her individual wishes, which are subsequently strengthened by playing with technical aspects and fabrics. The clientele she appeals to with her haute couture collections is comprised of confident, distinguished women- no trend followers, rather, women in their prime.
