Caprichos’ Spring 2011 Collection: Simple Beauty is all about ultimate simplicity and abstraction; source of inspiration: Piet Mondrian neoplasticism. As in “DeStijl” the designer makes use of the fundamental principle of the geometry of the straight line, the square, and the rectangle combined with a strong asymmetracality. We use pure primary colors red, yellow, blue, gray, light blue along with black and white; and the relationship between positive and negative elements in an arrangement of non objective forms and lines. The goal: to create unique pieces in simple form and color.

Our approach is the use of straight horizontal, vertical and angled black lines that contour woman ‘s figure to reveal her inherent beauty. The result is the creation of a feminine, modern, elegant, simple, unique, and youthful l collection which takes form in a slim, tight fitted, triangular, hourglass silhouette. It comes in rich luxe fabrics of silks, linens, jerseys, spandex, cottons, and satin. We name the collection Simple Beauty, the groups are named Black and White; Red and Yellow; Blue; and Red, Yellow, and Blue.

Black and White is evening wear, dresses made in white and black satin, layers of black satin ribbon, inserts of black satin in horizontal, vertical, or angular lines. In a tight fitted or triangular silhouette.
Red and Yellow includes cocktail, casual wear, dresses, pants, and blouses in red, yellow, white linen, and stretch white satin. Horizontal and vertical black and white lines accent the garment, and belts contour the waist, again we see tight fitted and triangular silhouette.
Blue is daytime and cocktail dresses in blue cotton, silk, and linen with white and black lines in horizontal and vertical directions, the silhouette is tight fitted and triangular.
Red, Yellow, and Blue is daytime and evening wear inspired by the paintings of Piet Mondrian, It comes in a tight fitted and triangular silhouette, made in spandex, linens, cottons, and silks, some pieces feature innovative mosaic patterns of Mondrian signature neoplasticism.

For this collection we are planning to produce nine hundred thousand items (900,000); we will sell our merchandise to 800 private boutiques nationwide, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, Barneys New York, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, Lord and Taylor, our website, and at Caprichos’ Boutique.
