"le joie de printemps"

For the spring 2010 season the collection was re-launched as a fuller, more complete luxury collection containing day wear that compliments the classic couture evening wear that Shalini is well known for. In large part this re-launch transpired due to constant requests for more day wear pieces from Shalini’s stores and private clients.

The spring collection is inspired by the light and color palette of the South of France and is dually named “le joei de printemps” or “the joy of spring.” Sun, cerise, lilac, olive, blanc, sand, and sky comprise the colors that evoke images of Southern France. The collection includes the finest European fabrics such as Taroni Silk Faille and Hammered Satin, Silk Chiffons, Gold Flecked Linen, and Swiss Cottons.

Owing to the collection’s fresh new direction, Neiman Marcus decided to host S H A L I N I trunk shows in several of their couture salons across the nation. Locations include St. Louis, Denver, Dallas, and Philadelphia. Additionally, in October, the collection was displayed in a charitable fashion show hosted by the infamously chic Saks Jandel store in Washington, D.C. with over 90 influential women from the region in attendance.

The collection has received positive reviews from both stylists and magazine editors alike, who regard the collection as a “breathe of fresh air.” Furthermore, we received amazing responses from all of our stores!
