The lush green fields of Bali, the casual fashion styles on the beaches of Ibiza, starry nights in Marrakesh … All weekend long I was looking through coffee table books from far-off places. Each page awaiting me with another exotic landscape, a fascinating face, a graceful animal. As a creative director I get mostly inspired by images – oil paintings in a gallery, snapshots on Instagram, aerials taken from high above the Serengeti.

It’s from those pictures that I get ideas for new colors, prints and shapes for upcoming Set collections. So I collect, „digest”, combine and re-design – with all of those visual impressions as a sort of clay for my imagination. Sounds weird yet that’s a huge part of the process of finding your footing into a new fashion season. You can see (and shop) some of our latest arrivals in the „ethnic prints” category right now in our online store. For this post I selected three of my current favorites: a knee-length sleeveless silk dress (left), another silk dress with wide-cut shoulders and a belt – and very relaxed printed trousers with golden sequins on the side seam (right).

As a special treat for you I’ll end this post with a stunning (!) video I found the other day. It’s called „The Tropic of Capricorn – A Time-Lapse Journey“ and was filmed by photographer Greg Kiss. He travelled 24,800 miles through Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Madagascar, Australia and Argentina (among others) to take pictures of the most scenic landscapes he could find. Watch this teaser and dream yourself away for a couple of minutes. Bon voyage
