[ NOOTKA GOES TO PARIS ] Antik Batik SS12

As I've mentioned before, and probably very predictably, I am 100% head over heals for French label Antik Batik. Oh, how I'd love to pick those exotically charged, ethnically saturated brains of Gabriella Cortese! Although I think such an act might result in a rather chaotic pile of batiky, mirror appliquéd mess. Marvelous! Anyway, back to the point, Gabriella's SS 2012 collection is no exception to my AB love affair: fringed suede satchels, multi-strand beaded necklaces, pearl embellished silk, ethnic embroidery and geometrical patterned straw clutches all thrown together with some kind of Native American boho vs Parisian chic (that light terracotta floral printed coat is beyond beautiful, but how did it get in there with that tasseled ethnic knit jumper?). Pocahontas in Paris perhaps?
