The AW22 collections are launching and first up The Animals Observatory ‘La cité de la lumière’ AW22 is available through their own website & stockists now.
Back in January 2022 when we originally saw this collection we fell in love with the faux fur Titan Camo Hats & the relaxed quirky fun of the Blowfish tulle over skirt. The Animals Observatory always provide a fun filled eclectic mix and this collection by by designer Laia Aguilar is no exception capturing our attention for AW22. Make sure to check it out!
About The Animals Observatory
‘La cité de la lumière’ FW/ AW 22
Creative Director and designer of The Animals Observatory, Laia Aguilar, says “This collection is chic Parisien with a touch of punk that reflects the season of change. It’s a walk through the streets of Paris letting the city embrace and seduce you”. Paris has enchanted the new collection.
With this Fall/ Winter 2022, Aguilar is driving a rally car through leopard and military patterns, with an underground feeling mixed with their iconic floral touch. Inspired by Andy Warhol’s illustrations or Milton Avery’s vanguardist paintings. With soft colours, circular velvet, a bohemian touch and the forever-present flower prints. Iconic stripes, an always present tribute to tricot, never forget the wool and an eternal flowers devotion. Bring the pink. And add some yellow and green. Always with an honest approach to think out of the box. This collection is, once more, an example that Laia Aguilar doesn’t take the back seat when it comes to design.
