sA74D1201PARIS, Mar 4, 2010 / FW/ — Yesterday, Tim Van Steenbergen presented a contemporary composition that was completely fluid in design.

Graphic patterns and geometric construction all lending itself to a collection that appeared to effortlessly wrap itself around the female form. Imagine if you will (as non-pc as it could appear) a whiff of smoke escaping a cigarette in a dimly lit room.

Executed in a variety of textures: jacquard cotton, jersey, tweeds, leather and silk, with colors making a smooth transition from white over black to deeper embroidered shades, the audience was more than pleased. Special mention to Ambiorix for truly wonderful shoes and accessories.
