La Formela Summer 2013

All good things come in threes and the same thing can be said about the trio behind emerging European fashion label La Formela. They may originate from Slovakia and the Czech Republic, but this summer, these talented garmentiers turned to the East for inspiration. 

La Formela's SS13 range is dipped in a paint box of fruity shades from strawberry pink, lime green, lemon and cranberry red, grounded by white and midnight blue. The blissful palette is printed in an exotic array of graphic patterns that are strongly influenced by nature. Quirky Koi fish, lucky cats, ladybirds and a variegated floral extravaganza are churned together, resembling a beautiful, abstract Japanese garden.

The Prague-based brand uses traditional handcrafting methodologies, turning sumptuous textiles into modern silhouettes. For summer, we are presented with jazzy bomber jackets, oversized trench coats, reversible sleeveless wraps (Look 6), silken summer dresses, patterned satin blouses with cigarette pants and elegant maxi dresses for a formal night out.

This is a glimpse into the vivid Summer 2013 collection by La Formela.

Dear Sam, sorry I didn't comment on Friday - I had a short weekend trip, that was nice! But I wouldn't miss Friday Frills, never! So I read today! And I totally agree - how many times people looked at me during my edgy phases and commented... and I thought "you look all like in uniforms". But if they liked, OK too.
I loved the skirt of Look 5, then Looks 6 and 7 and the blouse of Look 9! Great selection and I would wear skirt % with blouse 9 :)

Lilli said...

Morning Sam! Hope your weekend went fine! I was off on the beach and no internet!:) Btw, I havent no idea about this brand, thanks for sharing since it is really interesting, love the style and the mood of the whole collection, bold but sophisticated! Actually, the look 9 is my fav, the printed pants with the black blouse is really sleek and charming, I would love to wear it right now! Happy Monday my dear, hope your week is kicked off greatly! xo

Daniella said...

Hello Sam dear, Trust you to share such a unique and pretty collection with us all! Love the inspiration behind the prints and I particularly adore the ruffled and the ever so slight ruched sleeves, that have been so beautifully crafted on a couple of the pieces you have shown us! :)

Take care and have a truly wonderful week,
Daniella xox

As someone who normally shies away from prints/ bold colors, I would totally wear some of these pieces. Specially the pants! Except they'd probably have to be tailored beyond belief for my height... #shortpeopleproblems

Loving the second dress. I am a print girl so this sheath is where it's at!

Unknown said...

Absolutely stunning collection! Thank you for the introduction to these fabulous designers. I love the nod to the 60's with some of those bold patterns and shapes, yet they are so modern and unique, like the maxi with the crop top part. (for lack of a better description)

Love!

Hey sweetie! Yeah I have been absent, but I do have a good reason. I am moving to a new place and I was up to my neck in redecorating. Can`t wait to finish!

Now on-topic. This brand will absolutely be on my radar. I love their prints and cuts, but I must admit that my favorite looks are 14, 8, 7 and 6.

Seriously, Sam, now I'm feeling slightly ashamed that you've made me discover this brand, when the two designers come from my home country. It's like I was living under some rock, or what :) Anyways, I'll be googling them as soon as I finish writing this comment, because their prints really are stunning!
Thanks for this wonderful discovery! Have a lovely day, sweetie!
