Wolves - spring/summer 2003
Candy-apple red reigns as the label’s predominant colour of spring/summer 2003. Heart patterns abound and the ubiquitous Wolves logo leaves a permanent fingerprint on the mini-skirts, tank tops and little dresses. An iridescent pair of silver Capri pants that extends just below the knee is a new silhouette for Wolves, as is the pleated white dress with feather detail. The pastel rainbow chiffon skirts and tops have a contagious optimism while the one-piece red swimsuit prove that Wolves is intent on trying their hand at everything. The wool-lined red tops really project the Wolves look, as do any of their candy-apple red pieces, a look that is becoming clearer and clearer with every season.
Wolves is steadily gaining a foothold in the young urban markets that have a taste for the deceptively saccharine. Deceptive, because there are wolves under this sheep’s clothing.
Wolves’ designer Sabrina Albanese says of her partner Joyce Le, “There is a lot of communication between us.” No doubt, the TFI encourages exactly that kind of productive partnership.
