LOFff launched "The secret wardrobe of Maria Fjodorovna" collection for Winter 2010-11. A special branch of the St. Petersburg Hermitage opened in Amsterdam recently, and the beautiful dresses of the Tsarina Maria Fjodorovna have been an inspiration. LoFff is LoFff, and LoFff is for girls, so the garments are moving, the lace is stretchable, the fabrics are soft… and everything is a joy to wear and to look at. There are even more dresses than usual in this season, but also nice warm knitted skirts with fringes, many articles in soft viscose, belts covered with lace, coats with a definite ‘wow factor’ and comfortable pants. The colors are split up in three main groups: classic (a lot of dark shades, with accents in off white lace and gold), pink (soft old fashioned pink, combined with taupe and dark brown) and trend (a combination of joyful colors). Many of the fabrics are printed with lace like designs – developed by and exclusive for LoFff.
