February 21, 2006 JEAN- PIERRE BRAGANZA: A/W 2006 by Princess Julia ‘SUBTYRANNICAL’ Braganza’s latest collection is not confined to his artistry in shape and silhouette, his combinations of brocade, leather and silk are deeply romantic and sharply sensual. A daring waistcoat dress has strut appeal, press studded jackets reference a new twist on the ‘biker’/’rocker’ classic. Dogs-tooth cheque slim-line trousers with gathered leather pocket detail are new signature directions while khaki and subtle tie-dye gives a look of the vagabond. Splashes of red floral opulence reveal the dandy in his scheme of things, as each piece of Braganza’s collection is both adventurous and beguiling. Jean Pierre Braganza
