Cirque Militaire Inspiration
In the ladies room
Miss Scarlet in the electrical room?
Card sharks
Did I feel rain?
Sho' is a scorcher!
She just needs a baguette & a bicycle
What shall I name my new butterfly?
How much fun is our party?!

Cirque Militaire Senior Collection 2011

This collection was inspired by the 1967 French film The King of Hearts, which features German & Scottish militaries during WWII, an abandoned French town, an insane asylum, and of course... a traveling circus. This fantasy customer is going away to a weekend party in the English countryside where there will be croquet on the lawn, luncheon in the conservatory, picnics in the field, and cocktail parties in the ballroom. My target market is a woman 28-40 who appreciates fine tailoring with a nod to the 1940's and a bit of military toughness.
