After shaking things up by changing its name to Marciano Guess in time to launch its autumn/winter 2013 collection, the brand introduces us to its spring/summer 2014 collection, straight off the catwalks.

The new collection is all about sensuality and freshness. Chic Graphic opens the season with ubiquitous butterfly prints in strong and contrasting tones such as black and white and blue black and deep-sea blues with touches of royal blue and dusty silver. The look is enriched by the use of leather, patent leather and net details.

The collection extends into a feminine mix of loose and slim-fit shapes in midi and maxi lengths, using structured fabrics. Jacquard is embellished with lurex thread details, while silk and crepe are adorned with precious rhinestones.

Colourful flower prints in military green, blissful pink, black, silver and pearl grey complement the natural mood. Cool Caribbean takes the Marciano Guess woman from day to evening without compromising her glamorous look.

Wild orchid prints in aerial blue, ivory, peach, teal, oatmeal and flashes of light purple offer a delicate new twist on tropical and floral appliqués.

Beading provides rich embellishments and shining animal prints inspired by the hues of underwater depths create new textures and washed effects on pleated skirts, flared pants and soft and fluid short dresses.

The Marciano Guess man looks elegant, contemporary and enterprising. Driven by optimism, he plays joyfully with colours and transforms a classic look into chic elegance.

Light and fresh fabrics, such as cotton jersey and cotton canvas, are detailed with interesting eco-leather inserts.

Poplin and stretch piquet are perfect on shirts, while structured fabrics like gabardine, used on suits and trenchcoats, contribute to a statement of quiet elegance.

For more casual moments, perforated suede is a favourite for jackets which are easily teamed with a variety of printed cotton pants styles and matching light poplin or poplin piquet shirts.
