The versatility of linen

EUROPEAN linen is the best in the world and Europe-based fashion designers love using this eco-friendly fiber in their collections. Linen garments give a soothing experience and are extremely comfortable to wear.

Though the material is considered best for casual wear, designers like Vanessa Bruno, Phoebe Philo from Celine and Tomas Maier from Bottega Veneta have found linen can be used for chic, elegant and luxurious pieces. Their recent collections showcased noble linen and hemp. Linen arrives in masculine/feminine wardrobes that tend to fuse together.

The full range of vibrant blues become even more intense when seen on linen. The secret of this enduring alliance is linen's great capacity to absorb. As a hollow fiber, it holds dyes wonderfully, which designers love. This season, blue linen is in.
