Dear Diane and Shaded Viewers,

 

The Portuguese designer, Felipe Oliveira Baptista presented his collection this week in Paris. For spring/summer he focused on a re-interpretaton of classic pieces with a direction towards a safari/military feel, but without getting lost in jungle paraphernalia. Baptista's trench coats and shirt-dresses were clean, and allowed for him to play with cut-out hemlines, creating floor-length pieces on profile and mini-dresses from a front-view. There was also lovely abstracted camouflage print that, particularly on a hooded swing-coat, stood out amongst the modestly coloured collection.
