GINGER&SMART

This season the GINGER&SMART woman is a global nomad. She is conscious of the world around her, adores the luxury of quality and is drawn to the possibilities of the future.

«We were inspired by the new era of global consciousness, the use of light and space and a new future embracing the romantic mantra of peace, true love and freedom. We were also influenced by the pure colours of Kandinsky and the romantic philosophy of the Bauhaus objective to unify design, craftsmanship and new technology.»

«The Summer 2007 collection continues our signature luxury escape style. The collection embraces a kaleidoscope of prints and textures that pay homage to the colour and line of the Bauhaus: dark, sexy architectural colours of slate, ink and nude in the softest of leather, slouchy knits and plastic paillettes offset feather weight silks in neon citrus, red and pink.

GINGER&SMART accessories continue this season with a strong reference to graphic line and colour using the best quality Italian leather in ink, tourmaline and buff trimmed with patent leather in colours of violet, navy and citrus.

This season GINGER&SMART will launch their inaugural limited edition shoe collection in collaboration with Australian shoe atelier, Donna May Bollinger. Donna May has consulted to Sergio Rossi and Dolce&Gabbana and her artisan and handcrafted approach to luxury shoes is a perfect accompaniment to GINGER&SMART?s leather accessories.

SUMMER 07 also sees the introduction of GINGER&SMART´s new jewellery line. Using the technique of enamelling on wood with sterling silver, the handcrafted pendants reference the lines and geometry of the early Bauhaus movement.

GINGER&SMART is launching a “Theory of Harmony” bracelet signifying a new hope for the future , a time of global consciousness and action. All proceeds from the sale of the bracelet will be donated to The Total Environment Centre (www.tec.org.au).
