With the warm glow of summer upon us Arthur Galan AG taps into the essence of sunny days, vibrant sunsets and glistening seas. For women fluid pieces intersperse with structured lines, abstract sunset prints mingle with the sharp aesthetic of stripes and create an effortless chic setting that you can't help but want to enter. With his signature play on classic tailoring Arthur Galan takes the men collection from work to play. Stripes are softened by skewing spacing, checks take on a fresh twist and the refined blazer in strong tones is key to the summer collection.

WOMEN

An explosion of colour is at the fore this season with persimmon, royal blue and gold accentuating the purity of white and neutral tones. Super supple suede in vibrant orange is expertly shaped to form a figure accentuating dress whilst sheer silks create maxis that appear to float.

Orange hues from the lightest peach to the richest persimmon highlight much of the collection in block prints and irregular stripes. White is the new black and there is no better way to capture this spirit than in a sleek slim fitting suit. Easy to wear glam comes in the form of a foiled gold pant, a body suit or the must have little gold dress.

The staple colours of black and white come into their own and can either be worn alone, teamed together or accentuated with a block of colour. The signature white suit provides the basis for a versatile summer wardrobe while irregular stripes in a variety of dresses will have you covered for any occasion from derby day to dinner.

Watercolour prints in shades reminiscent of the ocean are used to create maxis, dresses and blouses that capture an ethereal quality. For a bolder approach to the season structured dresses with stripes in graduating hues of teal, turquoise and jade are a must.

Dressing for day is catered to with an effortless feeling in mind in an array of fluid shirt and trench style dresses in the softest of cottons and washed linens in neutral tones.

Luxe leather and suede are used to create versatile trans-seasonal pieces that provide the ideal basis for creating a multiplicity of looks. Leather panels trim a selection of dresses, jackets and skirts. The softest suede in the most vibrant orange is used to create a key piece for the season in the form of a precisely tailored dress that will stand out at any event with ease.

MEN

Summer sees the return of relaxed chic, a combination of the soft pleated pant with a fitted shirt in the finest Italian cottons and the Arthur Galan signature tailored jacket. On the opposite ends of the colour spectrum air force blue and vibrant orange add a vibrant splash to the sharp palette of white, nickel and black.

Silk drawstring pants are the highlight choice for day or night. Mix with an orange perforated jacket for day wear or take it up a notch with a super fine check shirt and white cotton tuxedo jacket for the evening.

Arthur Galan AG signature slim pants give a fluid line that are ideal for both the weekend sojourns and precise for the workplace. Light as air cotton shirts in checks and stripes form the foundations and the new short sleeve shirt for the summer season is blended with a polo collar and rib sleeve trim to create that effortless feeling.

Grown up shorts, with or without rolled hems, create a fashion forward look and if the temperature drops throw on a slouchy silk and cotton bias cut hooded jacket.

Irregular stripes cut across the collection in tees, polos and knits. Whether you favour vertical or horizontal stripes in structured widths or irregular combinations the collection has you covered for the Summer 2011.
