The autumn winter show hadn&#8217;t really won me over, I freely admit. But the Spring Summer 2013 collection was clearly an opportunity for Andrea Karg to give her style a real boost and come up with some very interesting stuff.  <\/p>\n<p>The leitmotif of the Allude brand is its systematic use of cashmere. A noble material, to be sure, but one that can sometimes limit a designer&#8217;s artistic choices. And I think last season taught the designer a lesson about the limits and restrictions imposed by this choice. This season, she realized that cashmere alone was not enough, and chose to innovate&#8230;much to my delight.   <\/p>\n<p>Leather, futuristic eyewear and cashmere knits of different thicknesses, we&#8217;re witnessing a renaissance. The cuts are clean, well-defined and the end result is a set of sharp looks, with acidulous colors in shades of blue and green reminiscent of the elements, especially water. <\/p>\n<p>Whether her outfits are chic or more inclined towards sportswear, the designer is having fun, and it&#8217;s clear to see, as I felt a real sense of happiness during this fashion show. From two-tone checkered prints to oversized beige sweaters, we can feel her at ease in all these registers, and it&#8217;s not for the faint-hearted. The energy exuded by the clothes and the show itself is palpable, making it one of the nicest surprises of this fashion week.<br \/>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2007178 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/2012\/10\/10\/surprise-at-allude\/02-4-2\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/02-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/02-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/02-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/02-38x38.jpg 38w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Mary Yasmine Arrouche<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surprise at Allude&#8217;s.
