THE ANIMALS OBSERVATORY The Animals Observatory Spring/Summer 19 collection, Laia Aguilar pays homage to the romantic world of flowers and the richness of their colour palette, combining this with the dazzling and radical style of classic rock stars. At the same time, Laia stays true to one of her recurrent references: the muted colours of Eric Rohmer's films. Within the new collection we see the elegance of 1970s Saint Tropez, military strength and the delight of young girls playing princesses. Classic and vintage patterns, pieces sprinkled with truth and charm, inspiration from cartoons by Tex Avery, and the natural elegance of iconic figures such as Lauren Hutton, Caroline Bassette and John Kennedy, or Brooke Shields and Jackie Kennedy in their youth.
