Worldly Sophistication: Echo Spring/Summer 2006
(New York, NY - February, 2006) – This
spring, Echo hits all the major trends of the season with a collection
that is perfect for your every day wear or vacation destination!
From the deserts of the Sahara to luxe cruises in the Mediterranean,
Echo’s complete accessories collection includes scarves, wraps,
shrugs, vests, jewelry, belts, beachwear and rainwear. With its vast
assortment of brights and neutrals, solids and patterns, frill and
femininity, Echo has the ultimate accessory for any spring or summer
occasion.
GOING GLOBAL
All the riches that the world has to offer are found in this color
soaked Echo collection. Staggeringly bold and beautiful ethnic printed
silk scarves, beaded and crocheted necklaces, and more, capture one
of this season’s strongest themes. Shades of brown are the
holding color, which are expertly infused with saffron yellow, red
currant, pungent purple and peacock blue. These ethnic inspirations
from around the globe create eclectic, fashionable looks when paired
with your perfectly worn-in jeans or your favorite tunic top.
BEYOND THE SEA
Echo’s classic, nautical inspired group of accessories provides
a preppy, seaworthy solution to your cruise wardrobe. Quirky geometrics,
color block stripes, lots of dots and graphic chain links in shades
of white, carbon blue, navy and camel add effortless style and character
to the fabrications they sprawl across. Silk twill headscarves and
ruffled silk chiffon oblongs make any outfit appear instantly chic
and sophisticated! Whether you’re sunning on a yacht or lying
on the beaches of Marseilles, Echo brings a nautical charm to any
ensemble.
SAHARA CHIC
Desert inspired natural tones and styles add an ethnic touch to sophisticated
linen and silk scarves, beaded shrugs and delicate eyelet vests.
The color palette, inspired by the warm shades of the Sahara desert,
includes earthy cream tones like pressed powder, clay, ivory and
khaki. Oblong scarves are adorned with organically inspired embellishments,
whisper weight chiffons are crinkled, and subtle lace overlaid to
make this understated group an overwhelming success!
SURF’S UP
Grab your flip flops and your favorite Echo cover-up for an easy,
carefree day at the beach! Crisp, vividly printed cotton halter and
shirtdresses, and textured silk chiffon pareos are printed with graphic
florals, Mayan geometrics, and bold stripes. Sun kissed coral, sunset
orange, peacock blue and chartreuse are mixed with contrasting shades
of tan and brown. Space dyed slinky knit caftans in khaki, begonia,
orange and turquoise prove to be the perfect accessory as the sun
descends or a sea breeze picks up. Echo’s beachwear collection
has the necessary essentials for any summer wardrobe.
LET IT RAIN
Echo’s rainwear collection is just the thing you’ll need
to brighten up those dreary rainy days! Stick and compact umbrellas
splashed with polka dots, stripes, flowers, and alternating color
and clear panels, come in a variety of colors that pop, like lemon
yellow, lipstick red, grass green and turquoise blue. Echo rainwear
includes vivid color trimmed raincoats that will make sure it doesn’t
rain on your parade!
