Mara Hoffman Autumn/Winter 2013


For Autumn/Winter 2013, Mara Hoffman takes us on a journey with a traveling circus filled with "Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves," complete with unique detailing, embellishments and vibrant Caravan, Phoenix, Leopard Trickster and Suzani prints. My favorite of the prints, Midnight Caravan, a colorful grid of elephants and peacocks, is featured on a chiffon blouse and jersey cutout dress. The Suzani print is inspired by the traditional tribal textile from Central Asian countries, with the Poppy Suzani mixed with yellow, white and green.

The collection features leather tops and pants, chunky knits and intarsia sweaters as well as mini dresses and gowns. There is also cutout detailing and embroidered pieces with metal beading.
