Yigal Azrouël Fall 2009

Chunky knits, extra long tops, over­sized scarves, ther­mal pants, out­er­wear, shawls, and waist­coats. No mat­ter what the option is, they all effort­lessly form a cohe­sive col­lec­tion with­out rely­ing on a mono­chro­matic theme or over­all pat­tern base for union. Yigal Azrouël’s fall col­lec­tion rep­re­sents the prin­ci­ple every wardrobe should be built on.  What the col­lec­tion lacks in color, it makes up for in ver­sa­til­ity.  The pieces are indi­vid­ual, yet can be eas­ily mixed around and incor­po­rated into any ensem­ble. This per­fect bal­ance is achieved by a spe­cific style. Main­tain­ing basic col­ors and incor­po­rat­ing sub­tle prints for vari­ety, Azrouël pays great atten­tion to pro­por­tions and fit. Work­ing with slim-​​fitted pants as a base, Azrouël cre­ates the top half with thin loose lay­er­ing pieces, often topped off by over­sized out­er­wear or a chunky knit per­fect for fall.
