Neve Designs Fall/Winter 2014/2015 Collection Overview
Neve Fall 2014 Collection Overview and Key Pieces
This season Neve sought out inspiration from around the globe. From the timeless elegance of European architecture to
the spirited colors that paint South Asia, our Fall 2014 Collection reflects the heritage, art and color of the world around
us.
Traced throughout the collection you’ll find design elements like Scottish tartan inspired plaids, traditional Nordic prints
from the windswept north and the mod contrast of bold black and white and the vivid colors found deep in the heart of
the Asian tropics.
We united what we learned about color and pattern with what we know about craftsmanship, quality and sustainability to
create a collection that is a testament to the inspiring beauty of the world in which we live. Enjoy.
OUTERWEAR COLLECTION
Slipping into a great jacket on a cold winter day should be wonderful. The quality fabrics and cozy insulation should
envelope you in softness and warmth. The silhouette, color and details of the jacket should be just as fashionable as
what you wear underneath. Neve’s beautifully designed outerwear pieces are the final accessory to your look, and an
extension of your personal style.
Key Pieces
Vida Jacket in Moss
With classic quilting, an active length and touches of leather in all the right places, the Vida jacket is an ode to modern
equestrian chic. But this ladylike jacket has a secret; behind the classic exterior you’ll find black and white hounds tooth
lining and a pop of azalea piping – just enough unexpected detail to give this versatile jacket a contemporary edge.
MSRP: $275.00

Collection is a reflection of Neve’s dedication to our Colorado roots with mod graphic patterns, delicious candy colored
hues and tasteful neon accents. And, as always, the collection is brimming with all the texture, details and top-of-the-line
materials that you’ve come to expect from Neve.
