The ESCADA Sport FW2012 collection is inspired by the quiet charm of the British countryside where luxury lodges offer seclusion and sophisticated style.

A crazy mix of flowery patterns is crucial for any British country house, the garment shows the heritage of a contemporary edge, rustic woolens, flowers, tartans and hearty shearlings adds to the inspiration.

The key styles are the English riding jacket, the lace tunic dress, tailored velvet suit and the check cape.

The "Tea Time" theme has a small 1920s influence and can be seen in soft dresses with flower decoration and precious fragility. The ornamental color palette explores the delicacy of feminine shades, set against the seductive darks.

"Wallpaper sparkle" resulting in long silhouettes and lean lines, draping and embellishment are a favorite. Gleaming metallics and sumptuous chenilles fall heavily into fluid shapes.

The "poetic classics" theme emulates aspects of traditional classics by tweaking the proportions, the looks adapt to the different situations of the day. Neatness and attention to detail is vital in styles that imitate tailoring, with shaped lapels and fashion pockets.
