Mango

With a new image represented by the beautiful actress Scarlett Johansson, Mango announces a fall collection of clothing, footwear and fashion accessories that is born for success. Mango's new Fall/Winter 09 catalog boasts young successful fashion icons from around the world including Daisy Lowe, Leigh Lezark, Reiley Keough and Marie Ange Casta. Their names may not sound quite as star-studded as Scarlett's, but their faces are that much more recognizable. Riley is the daughter of the famous Lisa Marie Presley, Marie Ange is the sister of the beautiful Laetitia Caste, and Daisy is the British fashion icon and daughter of the famous musician Pearl Lowe. Together they represent an inspiring and extremely powerful wardrobe for women. Mango has taken this concept to life by accentuating the shoulders on jackets and blazers for a bolder look and adding tight, slim-cut skirts. A kind of return of the wild eighties, then. This boldness, which could also be called a rocker chic look, is full of black, mixed in different materials and metal accessories. The Riley collection is more playful and colorful. It combines long knits, check and ethnic patterns, romantic frills and jeans. Casta advertises elegant cocktail and evening dresses with colorful floral prints, seductive lace and sequins. The collection is extremely feminine and heralds hot autumn evenings. This time, Mango's jeans are full of shiny details, leather accessories, iridescent colors and zippers. The most trendy model is still tight jeans, from the waist to the ankles. The coats that will keep us warm this winter are printed with animal patterns and fit tightly to the body. The buttons are large and the length reaches almost to the knees. Mango's biggest asset is certainly warm knitwear, jackets made of faux fur and leopard print, and leather fashion accessories with studs.
