Cold Play - Ashley Fogel Celebrates 20 Years

Turn venturing out in the cold, darker days of winter into a pleasurable journey with the latest range from Ashley Fogel, which marks the 20th year of the Ashley Fogel label.

For his anniversary collection, Ashley Fogel takes his cue from the decade when A-line skirts were all the rage and style icons Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly reigned supreme. Prepare to fall in love with the fifties all over again with Cold Play 2011.

Cold Play is a sexy mix of revival fashion for this coming season. While inspired by the shapes and textures of the fifties, colours and fabrics are modern and fanciful.

“The fifties showcased the female form in a way that acknowledged and enhanced the female silhouette to perfection,” says Ashley. “Our aim was to create a winter wardrobe that captured the pared-down chic of fifties styling, while also highlighting the more playful and fun side of today’s contemporary woman.”

The anniversary collection is about a woman of form and substance. Ladylike dresses, demure hemlines and cinched in waists hark back to the age of the sexy, stylish and powerful leading ladies of the 50s such as Marilyn Munroe, Ava Gardner and Lauren Becall. Ashley Fogel knows how to accentuate curves and his LBD is a real trump card and a signature item of the collection.

The winter 2011 range incorporates super-luxe fabrics such as cashmere, silks and lace as well as classic, clean, confident lines to create irreverent and timeless garments. The collection is instant chic with instant standover appeal.

Cold Play reflects a unique palette of colour, specially selected by Ashley Fogel to ignite any cold wintry day. The warm stylishness of Tiffany blue and brilliant eye-popping raspberry and ruby red stand in delicious contrast to camel, biscotti and warm winter creams.

With a focus on beautiful tailoring and classic design, it is no wonder that the Ashley Fogel tuxedo jacket in all its glamour is the ‘must-have’ item of the season. Teamed up with the trophy white blouse, the tuxedo jacket lends itself to a ladylike and chic look that is both minimal and luxurious. Coats and trenches are also stand out pieces with their subtle detailing and more relaxed silhouette than the more structured shape of last winter.

Ashley Fogel aspires to create garments for women that are not only feminine and stylish, but are timeless classics that can be worn season after season.

“I am thrilled about the winter collection,” says Ashley. “And, this being our 20th anniversary it is truly something to celebrate.”

Ashley Fogel Winter 2011 is available from leading fashion stockists in Australia and New Zealand. For more information and to view this season’s range please visit www.ashleyfogel.com.
