Jazzkatze and pearls tights

What is the most amazing about Jazzkatze new A/W11 collection? In my opinion, definitely tights. The interesting looking tights with attached pearls can not be unmentioned. The colours of tights were different but the pearls stayed the same. It can be questioned how comfortable are those tights but there is no doubts that they are definitely brings attention to wearer’s legs. 

The collections titled 'The Name of the Rose' is inspired by the novel written by Umberto Eco under the same title. Jazzkatze plays with the images of a rose as well as  a snow covered ground print. Key pieces include hooded coats and simple dresses. The catwalk show was like a novel, full of symbolism and mystery.
