Three new collections at Lija

01/04/2009
Activewear designer Lija has unveiled three new golf and sportswear collections for autumn featuring runway styling, distinctive silhouettes and the brand's trademark bold colour combinations.

Inspired by art and literature from the 1920s-1950s, the collections—Garden of Eden, Twilight in Italy and The Sun Also Rises—are named after books from the era, while the individual styles are named after famous artists, design aesthetics, shoes and other period themes.

A fusion of sport, leisure and fashion, the line's layering pieces include sophisticated prints and unique detailing in knits, soft shell and midlayer looks. Highlights of the collections include two new fabrications, Ozone, a lightweight, durable outerwear providing comfort, style and strong performance features, and Mira, a technical bottom fabric that offers functionality and easy care.

Founder, Linda Hipp, said: "From Belle Epoque to Art Deco, these artistic collections exude international flair and epitomiae Lija in a wide range of styles that can be worn from one activity to the next. This season we've also added a bolder picnic plaid in The Sun Also Rises to our characteristic colour blocking and striped sweater knits."
