Several thousands
years ago, in ancient Rome, the tunic as the baggy clothing of the simplest tailoring,
with cut outs for hands and the head, equally appropriate for men and women.
The designer tunics of today are not like the old versions of tunics in regards
to length. Today trendy tunics successfully complement the ensembles in casual
style and the business-like wear as well finding its place in seasonal
collections of fashion houses. Light and feminine tunics in boho style are the
best for warm spring and summers season, though by the collections of
autumn-winter 2010-2011 show, fashion designers do not plan to refuse this
garment of women wear when creating collections for the autumn wear.
Tunics in autumn-winter
collections 2010-2011 are highly demanded and it is reasonable since designers offered
multi-layered garments and loose tunic from jersey or wool can be happily used as
the element of the ensemble. The vital component of such multi-layered
ensembles is the tunic. So, the designer Richard Nicoll demonstrated incredibly
comfortable ensembles of supple and calm shades when matching the jersey tunic
with the long and loose shirt and soft loose trousers. The image created is
somewhat bohemian and exceptionally comfortable.
The stylish
tunics become the part of the autumn wardrobe in the collection by Salvatore
Ferragamo. His tunics are accentuated with the wide unique belts to complement
autumn trousers and long shorts. This season the designer duet Badgley Mischka offers
to wear long tunics matched with leggings and shortened jacket with
bat-sleeves. The ensembles of this style are presented in collections of autumn-winter
2010-2011 of Blumarine brand. The collection presents the same leggings matched
with the tunic made from the brilliant glittering fabric decorated with the
zebra prints of brighter colors. Multi-layer ensembles by Blumarine are
highlighted with the shortened jacket and carelessly tied neck kerchief. The traditional
match of leggings and tunics for the coming season is offered by Diane von
Fürstenberg, either.
In the meantime,
the fashion couple Paul & Joe replaced the leggings for warmer tights from
wool with patterns to wear with tunics not dresses. The base of collection is long
tunics casually girdled with belts on thigh and grabbing attention with
flamboyant abstract prints. This autumn Donatella Versace offers to match
tunics with long sleeves made from delicate and fine wool with the provocative
mini skirts.
The
collections by Issey Myake launch too traditional tunics which come as long and
loose with short sleeves to perfectly match the tight trousers and ballerina
shoes creating a line of ensemble in casual style. Karl Lagerfeld created the series
for autumn-winter 2010-2011 for Fendi fashion house, making the tunic, the
essential part of casual wardrobe, into the piece of ensemble worthy to mention
and wear. He demonstrated incredibly beautiful and light tunics from glittering
silk and satin. The designers for the brand Etro matched the glimpse of tunics
from satin with the jackets and trousers from luxury brocade, making the
ensemble the worth-while example of the evening wear. On the top of it, glittering
silk tunics with the elegant embroidery are included in the autumn collection
by the British designer Giles Deacon who perfectly launched the shine of the
fabric with the simple tightly-close shortened trousers.
When making
the wardrobe for the new seasons, the classic single-color tunic is the best
choice. And few fashion designers made some attempts to decorate this garment
with prints, including Moschino launching lepart-printed tunics, Blumarine presenting
zebra stripes and Frankie Morello whose tunics are speckled with ironic mottos.
On the whole, designers prefer single color or abstract prints as it is seen in
collections by Issey Myake, Etro, Custo Barcelona, Marni and Diane von
Fürstenber.
