Parfois has introduced a collection that aims to highlight the individuality of each one of us.

La Femme brings a fresh and classy look, where the grey of winter is left behind. Strong and lively colours feature in a collection which combines classic and vintage looks.

Day-to-day items turn into perfect accessories – buttons and hooks help create the most remarkable looks of the cold season.

La Femme features an eclectic mix of materials and details: nylon, plastics, wales, flowers, satin, velvet and chains that help in the construction of irreverent and super-cool pieces.

As to handbags, the highlight is on fusion of prints and materials, along with more graphic details such as numbers or words.  This collection has backpacks, shoppers, clutches and party handbags – options for every taste and situation.

The jewellery is a true revival of the 1980s: from large and vintage earrings to colourful ribbons that can be used as wristbands or chokers. The scarves, in bandana style, also come straight from the past, with old prints and fabrics with folds in red, blue and black.

The sunglasses, garnished with golden chains that work as cords, come in two classic styles: oval-shaped and cat-eye.

A plaid blazer is the star of the collection, giving a classic and tailoring feel to La Femme. This can be worn with jeans when the day begs for a sporty look or with equally classic pieces when the moment requires it.

When it comes to shoes, a pair of bordeaux neoprene sneakers will not leave anyone feeling indifferent. Once again, La Femme proves that modern and vintage can go together.

This collection is also marked by dichotomies: functional v structured; young v  classic; and sporty v elegant.
