The fall-winter prêt-à-porter 2011-2012 collection of Anne Valérie Hash is very intimate, noble and discrete – just like Paris. Which is not surprising, as the inspiration for its creation French designer drew within herself.

Anne Valérie is a real goddess of multi-layering: light and delicate, it creates trompe l’oeil with pleats of flowing tapered pants, with thin frills of short skirts and with asymmetry of the double collars.

Exquisite colours, dominated by shades of sand and gold, mélange of dark blue and beige grey, create a warm atmosphere and help cope with the winter cold. Low, feminine shoulders, deliberate nonchalance of laces taking place of belts, sensual rich materials and their combinations: mink, velvet, silk and cashmere. The clothing of Anne Valérie Hash is the quintessence of a laid-back Parisian chic.

Seemingly classic, leading to a new elegance.
