New Collection from By Malene Birger - the Renovation Spring Summer 2012
FREDERKISBERG, Denmark, February 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Standing behind the curtain her heart beats a rhythm of excitement and anticipation. Within minutes she will enter the stage and walk the teen steps towards the love of her life - the piano. This is her first big concert in Copenhagen and she only prays her new pink suede pumps will guide her. During the next hour her fingers will do magic as they hit the piano with precision and control. Since she was a little girl she has loved the graphical expression of the black and white keys - it speaks to her creative mind inspiring her to try new combinations in her work.
She looks down - the long green sequins dress is a perfect choice. Understated and powerful! It radiates self- confidence, sexy and elegant. A very different choice from her normal selection of stage outfits, but it is a symbol of this significant period in her life - THE RENOVATION.
It started out as a simple renovation of her charming riad in Marrakesh - she fell in love with the place immediately - finally she got the famous Moroccan arched windows! As she closes her eyes she is almost there: The orange trees in the inner courtyard are blooming and the smell is amazingly fresh. She has decided to go for white walls and few selected walls painted grass green. Black and crème tiles at the floor makes her calm - a celebration to her beloved piano. Somehow the renovation has influenced every part of her life - it is time to clean up both mentally and physically. Now even her wardrobe is going through a makeover. She feels for more long and lean silhouettes and she will look for white clothes combined with strong and powerful colors for the summer.
It is time. The soft tones from the piano fill the air with a silky vibrant sound - almost like the smooth fabric on her skin. She loves the way the tones spread in the concert hall - clings around the audience like a loose summer dress around the female body. Tomorrow she leaves for Marrakesh to finish her renovation - her dream! And she knows that another exiting dream awaits her around the corner. She can't wait to get there - and she will wear her new pants with extremely wide legs - fluttering like a piece of music every time she walks…
The spring summer collection 2012 is available now in the BY MALENE BIRGER Webshop.

THE SIGNATURES
Invite Moroccan culture inside - and make it the signature of the season.

Long, lean, sleek, tall and….STRONG! The main inspiration is the 70's suit - it's renovated, clean and sharpened! Wear the wide flare pants and wide lapel blazer with a cool metal chocker. Or try the new silhouette with long tall lines as you combine the wide pants with a modern jersey top, suede pumps in green and a futuristic metallic snake bag. Find long effortless summer dresses and a new suit with an asymmetric silhouette - it is relaxed but elegant floating along the body like a symphony.

THE COLORS
White, crème, natural and more white! Embrace intense colors and explore bold color blocking - grass green (metallic), dark green, warm apricot, raspberries or fresh aqua to make a strong statement.
