Possen Fashion @ Polo Gstaad
At the end of August the new spectacular fabric collections of our top weavers will arrive. Thus, for the fashion consultants of Possen Fashion it is time to pick up some vibes for fresh inspiration for the new season in a proper setting.
For us a proper setting means quality, style and beauty, with fine wine and dining, a healthy dose of sportivity and perhaps even a touch of machismo. The invitation for the Cartier Polo Gold Cup Gstaad in the beautiful Swiss mountains got to us just in time!
From 17th to 20th of August a delegation of Possen Fashion will attend to this prestigious event. As spectators mind you, because amongst the polo players there are the best worldwide (such as the Argentinians Matias McDonough and Milo Fernandez Araujo) and in that case we prefer to keep it to some downhill bikerides through green alpine meadows.
Rugged mouintain tops and spectacular panoramic views. Breezing poneys in full sprint. A glass of fine champagne surrounded by spattering mud. The gentlemen wearing a summercool tailor-made jacket. The ladies of course a hat (or better, a ´création de tête´).
But work has to be done. In the evening at the gala-diner in the Cartier pavilion on the polo field we will perform a sharp inspection on fit and fabric choice of the handmade jackets of the leading industrialists as well as nobility from various European royal houses. Later that night we will join the polo players in the GreenGo Bar (Palace Hotel) for some more relaxing, but nevertheless undoubtedly robust digestives.
Of course we will report our experiences in Gstaad on this place (pictures included). Until then you can go to www.pologstaad.ch or listen to the stories of our fashion consultants, who think they are polo-experts already.
