TSE Cashmere launches fall collection for woman

This year TSE celebrates 20 years of What We Do Best, Cashmere. Double face cashmere, single face cashmere and cashmere blends are at the core of the Fall 2009 Collection.
The inspiration for the collection is a woman who embodies the TSE aesthetic, modern, sophisticated and innovative. Although, she is at the forefront of current fashion, she is not driven by trends. She sees her purchases as investments and relies on TSE for great design, fit and quality.
In fall 2009, the TSE woman is wearing a body skimming underpinning, a cashmere bodysuit with feet. She layers it with a draped apron skirt and wraps herself in a blanket jacket. She wears the same draped apron with her TSE cashmere dress or knit pant suit. This season's essential piece in her closet is the cashmere dress with the oversized hood.
A knit tailored jacket replaces her cardigans and softer shapes with a stronger line. The sharper shoulder is accentuated with removable shoulder pads. The silhouette is slimmer and more body conscious than in seasons past. Wrapping, draping and proportion center on highlighting the asymmetry of the collection.
The revisited and updated blanket like cashmere coats represent the modern, architectural shapes that have inspired TSE design from its inception.
The fall colors are very cool in tone. The neutrals have a chalky grey cast, with a focus on white, steel grey and pale fog. The accent colors include burnt orange, mulberry, green and almond.
The design sensibility utilizes innovative knitting to achieve various textures and effects with the fabric. This creates smooth and modern ottomans and chunky ombre effects in hand knitting, and quilting. Goat fur accents and lacquered buttons give a modern and elegant touch to the fall 2009 collection.
In 1989, TSE the cashmere label, was founded by Augustine Tse, supporting an idea that this luxury yarn, up to that point, had been greatly under-utilized. This beautiful raw material had been used very one-dimensionally, was very classic and expensive, and was perceived to be reserved only for the elite.
