Model-turned-actress
Milla Jovovich has also turned her hand to fashion design as of late and is
already on to her fourth collaboration collection with luxury brand Marella.
The newest 'Marella + Milla' capsule collection features a line of bags and
clothing, and Milla has commented on her inspiration for the designs. She says
that she hopes the collection can help people escape from the greyness of
cities as it celebrates tropical colours that are perfect for the summer season
ahead: ''The materials, the drawings, the quality of the details,
everything is purer. That corresponds to my current vision of fashion. For this
Spring/Summer, colours are the quintessence of style. They're shiny,
tropical, like blue and yellow. The collection is sophisticated, stylish
and fun. A touch of holidays, tropics and at the same time very
urban and cool. We chose colours [for the bags] representing the sea, the
sun and hibiscus. It reminds me of Hawaii. It's a way
of escaping from our grey cities.''
As
part of the collection, Milla has also unveiled a self-titled bag. She comments
that she thinks the design is simple but also very sophisticated and pairs well
with many pieces. She adds that it includes luxurious finishing touches such as
python, and she believes it's a special stand-out piece from the latest
offering: ''It's magnificent, very simple, white in a python-printed
leather with metallic details and a special catch we designed
together. You can wear it with everything because it's monochrome. So you
can go bold with the shoes or the dress.''
