Winter Sight by Karin Sawetz, publisher Fashionoffice (16 October 2013)

October is the time that people are planning their ski holidays in the European Alps; some are still uncertain where the journey will go. The only place in the European Alps I visited several times through the last years was Bruneck in South Tyrol. This region is known for its great mountains and slopes; but each of us has own favorite places. Mountain-cross skiing combined with an Alps-tour (via train) is probably the best way for exploring various comfortable and chic places in Central Europe.

Nice clothes for skiing

...seen in mid-October 2013 at the current Bogner Sport collection. The colors and patterns of the pieces are similar to the ones created by Bogner for the German Team at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi 2014 (video below).

Especially the yellow Bogner Sport jacket with pink and white flowers on branches with evergreen appeal attracted my eyes. The fantasy design of the textile pattern reminds mountains and South Sea at once; the branches could be from fir as well as from palm trees and the flowers look like picked from an exotic landscape; the design reminds also non-conformists' Christmas days. The lining of the jacket is made from fresh mint-green fabric with white dots. Bogner Sport combines the sunny ice flower jacket 'Juana' with the label's ski pants in jeans look.
