Ter et Bantine, by Manuela Arcari, presents a collection based and inspired by the technique of construction directly on the mannequin; The Moulage.

This Spring Summer 2009 is feminine and minimal, enhacing the figure with pleats, draped bows and gathering; giving a feeling of fluidity and freedom. 

The focus is on the fabrics as silk, jersey and linen that create a different effect in every way they are used.

Soft dresses with different cuts embrace the body in a very light way, playing with pleats and different neck styles. The proportions of the trousers gives a special look to the silhouette.
