Why NARCISS designer tops are the perfect choice for spring 2013

Previous pieces on the NARCISS (http://www.shopnarciss.com) website have detailed the latest fashions from the Spring/Summer 2013 collection of the luxury fashion boutique, encompassing jackets, skirts and accessories. Now, it’s time to consider the merits of the designer tops inspired by Baltic mythology and boasting many of the long-established qualities of the label.

Those qualities include the most impeccable craftsmanship and the finest natural fabrics, all combined in a manner that makes the womens designer tops of NARCISS a year-round, and not merely spring fashion investment. Indeed, there’s never a time of year – or even any year – in which women do not appreciate timeless wardrobe staples exuding an unmistakable sophisticated femininity.

As one would expect from the creations of a fashion label deriving its name from the handsome young man, Narcissus, of the ancient Greek myth, the tops of NARCISS truly make a woman feel good and even fall in love with the person that greets her in the mirror. Unlike the aforementioned legend, however, the emphasis of NARCISS is firmly on a healthy and balanced self-confidence, not sick self-obsession and narcissism.

This universally appealing philosophy is combined for spring 2013 with the influence of mythology and folkloric symbols throughout a range of designer tops that may be the best yet assembled by the London fashion designer behind NARCISS, Alise Trautmane. The Jasmine Silk Blouse, for example, is perceptively crafted solely from the finest silk, and feels distinctly delicate and natural – not unlike the mystical tree in Baltic folklore, Austra’s tree.

It is worth considering this tree further when browsing through the present NARCISS designer tops selection, as many visual elements of these fashions have something to do with its copper roots, gold branches and silver leaves, as well as its tendency to die with the setting of the sun and rise back to life at the start of each day. The likes of the Nora Silk Blouse and Martha Tunic, for example, feature embroidery and other detailing that geometrically references Austra’s tree – otherwise known as Tree of the Dawn.

However, if there’s something that the admirer of the output of this online fashion boutique is likely to notice about the general look of such items as the Printed Silk Top and the Juliette Blouse, now on sale for £249 and £178 respectively, it is that they are also starkly, unapologetically contemporary. The aforementioned folkloric and natural influences, whilst absolutely present, are also not overly imposing, which helps the fashions of the Spring/Summer 2013 collection to transcend the mere ‘trend du jour’ or for that matter, the restrictions of any one theme.

With the present womens designer tops range also including the entrancing White Queen Blouse in 100% silk and the £259 Bishop Blouse combining a silk and elastane main composition with cotton and polyamide sleeves, it’s clear that NARCISS (http://www.shopnarciss.com) remains an ideal first port of call for spring fashionistas.
