The slogan of the spring-summer collection show 17 Charlotte Olympia refers us to the famous pun “go bananas”, which means “clink glasses” or literally “go out like a banana”. This is exactly what happened to the models on the catwalk.
What fashion has come to - Charlotte Olympia's SS17 is loading its Brazilian “bomb” with a collection inspired by Carmen Miranda, showing off an appetizing color palette and a celebration of tropical fruits and flowers.
There is no lack of heels soaked in samba. Carnival high-rise boots and botanical platforms adorned with gold leather orchids. Sheets of monstera complement wedge shoes, “Amazons” are found on all leather goods, including the classic Bogart handbag.
Accessories go crazy with Chiquita's cheeky banana pumps and fruit designs, including Fruit Salad sandals, Bananas is My Business sandals and Tutti Frutti flat heels. The Tropical Handbag and Fruit Basket, along with Club Tropicana with an open nose and Chica Chica Boom, are all decorated with floral and fruity splashes.
Silhouettes of tropical birds embroidered on Song Bird are framed by bamboo on a Paradiso handbag. Bright sneakers are decorated with colorful beads, and a set of playful prints explodes above the espadrilles, sneakers, adding exotic to the everyday product.
Charlotte Olympia is present at the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai.
