COMO Shambhala, the holistic health concept which forms part of the COMO Group, has launched a new Active Living Collection for autumn/winter 2007.
The company's first ever substantial range, the collection features neutral shades of white, off-white, charcoal and black.
Designed by Amy Roberts, it employs useable fabrics that are easily washed, including 100 per cent natural cottons, sometimes with a Lycra mix, such as cotton jersey, cotton voile, cotton lawn, cotton canvas (for the shoes and bag), and cashmere. Silk is also featured.
Easy fashion pieces for relaxed layering include a loose cotton oversized over-shirt, a hoodie, long-sleeve tee, angel-sleeve top, a pareo, an embroidered cashmere and cotton-trimmed shawl, a drawstring mini, drawstring pant and a sleeveless dress with cut-away back.
More technical wear includes a camisole, racer-back tank, sleeveless tank, a layered tee, spiral-seamed pant, cropped and layered shorts and a high-waisted legging.
To accessorise the collection, COMO Shambhala has launched an off-white soft canvas bag with natural leather trim - shoulder or handles - and a Mary-Jane shoe with an elastic bar and embossed leather sole.
In addition to mail order, all the items in the collection will be sold at seven COMO properties, which include Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos, Cocoa Island in the Maldives, Uma Paro in Bhutan, Uma Ubud in Bali, COMO Shambhala Estate in Bali and The Metropolitan hotels in London and Bangkok.
