The easiness of living and the clarity of the mind. The white color conveys hope leading us along through our everyday routine. Let skeptics argue that the white color and practicality are incompatible like the genius and the evil. Karl Lagerfeld insists that the white color encompasses all images, silhouettes and colors.

The foam-white weightlessness of the angel’s feathers, trimmed with gold leaf is extremely up-to-date. In an attempt to approach perfection, designers have tested many techniques: open-work perforated patterns on leather, delicate fringes and, of course, light-weight fur trimmings. The Fendi sisters are in the vanguard of this trend again: white mink combined with transparent chiffon creates the impression of a cloud. Ungaro and Alexander McQueen, on the contrary, use the «knitting technique» a-la «fluffy cloud.»
