FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SECTA AUTUMN WINTER 2010 COLLECTION SECTA teams up creative director Renée Patron with designer Takayuki Miyazawa to present the collectives seventh season – Autumn Winter 2010. Takayuki was born and raised in Japan and then moved to Italy to attend Istituto Marangoni Design School in Milan, where his final five designs were honored in London’s Harrods Department store window display. He then draped and crafted the patterns for Neil Barrett’s women’s collection for five years and just recently worked with Jil Sander designing the women’s collection for the +J Uniqlo project. Taka’s unique design aesthetic of minimalism, close attention to detail and quality matched that of SECTA’s that it makes the perfect marriage for a strong collection. The SECTA Autumn Winter 2010 collection is set up around the theme of the modern sophisticated woman’s lifestyle. Subtle and clean sportswear details are infused into the collection to give a variation of functionality for travel and the ability to transcend each look from day into night. The look is clean, smart, classic and sexy. The style is simple yet thoroughly thought out silhouettes to make the lines of the woman’s body look lean, designed not loose but comfortable enough to keep room for the skin. Colors are neutral toned and super clean. SECTA continues to be particular about the pattern and structure of each design. Keeping the woman in mind, designer Takayuki, translates the theme through detailed patternmaking. The looks are very simple yet the forms are constructed with sculptural curve lines. Such details as buttons are also carefully arranged. Forms, colors and the woman are unified to visualize the image of the intellectual woman. In conversations between Patron and Miyazawa much is lost in translation between English, Japanese, and Italian barriers but one thing is clear- Takayuki states “Abstract at simple space” and this is where the season was born.
