Knit Style Book
spring summer 2010
We live in a continuum of perpetual change, a new season dawns and the
force of innovative ideas is what makes the fashion world magical and so
attractive.
Next season Shima offers new solutions where dressing for simplicity is
a pleasure in itself. A wide range of ideas from the bohemian glamour
theme in Gypsy Jeans, bold black and white swim wear cover ups and
silhouettes in the Bar Code selection; seeking the summer shade in smart
proposals in Savanna Scent; High Times takes a tongue in cheek look
back at the Tamala Motown days of the 60’s and finally Lace Track gives
a new solution to fashion with a slowing down approach to clothes and
forms and soft botanical colour palette for the future...
Shima your choice...
spring summer 2010 1
Tamala Motown made Diana
Ross and the Supremes a
worldwide phenomenon, the
lyrics written during this era
spoke of lost hope and became
a sound track era.
Taking high class as high as it
can go, inspired by the all girl
group from downtown Detroit.
Motor town became role
models in the 60’s for Black
Americans. Poise and panache
of a fabled troubled era, these
ladies dressed to make history
and the clothes of work being
supreme.
