Paris, France – Spanish designer Amaya Arzuaga returned to Paris with a strong collection that demonstrates that she deserves the many compliments that describe her as one of the best independent talents on the Paris calendar. Her new work is about a journey to the center of the earth. In it we find her expected skill and elegance

AMAYA ARZUAGA

Arzuaga uses large, dual panel pleating in many of the silhouettes. They create a special effect when the placed in motion. And once in movement they revel a muted gold. That same gold is used is used in waffled fabrics to create pieces like a dress with a large, decorative flap pleating over the bodice.

There is varied attention to the shoulders. Some are structured, while some voluminous or just a bit squared while others are natural. And the skirts are all cut short. And she does all of this in colors of gold, black green, ruby-slipper red and maraschino cherry red.

Arzuaga does a work that is sexy, mature and modern. And most of all she succeeds at showing that the Arzuaga woman is confident.
