Though I doubt the label believes it can achieve this solely through outlandish
touches like ostrich feathers, the full range of looks was presented to
stunning results. For women, distressed hip-huggers were worn with a denim
corset that looks surprisingly comfortable. A barmaid skirt with long
shoulder straps teases in a different way. Hotpants in earthy colours
are a first for me, but I'm a sucker for new ideas. The white denim jacket
and matching short shorts provides a perfect canvas for patches, relics
from the past that we as culture recyclers are determined not to throw
away.
The sex appeal is by no means restricted to women. From western shirts
with ties bringing in some kind of careless formality to tastefully
embroidered track suits, the message is for men to let go and have some
fun while still looking cool. The sleeveless vests are among the most
attractive items and they proudly bear the Parasuco name.
Many of the best
pieces in the collection had not a stitch of denim in them, possibly
showing a new direction for Parasuco. In short, spring promises to be
electrifying for whoever can let their imagination run free, as far
as denim and all its glitzy trappings go.
