Al Zouman/Swatch
Al Zouman General Trading launched Swatch’s fashion spring summer 2005 collection at a dealers’ convention at Crowne Plaza Hotel in Jeddah on Sunday. “It’s here — a color-splashed collection of bright, light-hearted ornaments, glittering accessories of glamour on display,” Omar Al Saggaf of Al Zouman General Trading said. The collection is a mix of traditional and new pieces. They come in classic plastic, colored enamels, steel, leather and synthetic textured fabrics. They meet in a flush of natural and high-tech hues. They are luxuriant shades of the jungle at sunrise, brilliant greens and pinks, crimson, black and orange. “You can feel the excitement building in anticipation of the hunt. And there they go, they’re off and running - mannequins on the prowl. They’re chasing down the next attraction. A souvenir from Swatch, from the collection,” he said in a presentation. The collection includes Amazon Sunrise — a jungle book filled with imaginary creatures.
