Aq1 is a code in Latin for eagle–independent and graceful are attributes that Arrondissement Aq1 feels represent their designs. “Dare and do” is the motto, which materializes in a mix of casual and evening wear, graphic linearity and embellishments.

In the S/S 2011 season, Christina Arend maintains her focus on nature. “I feel that everything is related and forms a unity. The accessories are a special feature of my collection. They complete the entire Aq1 look and make it unique. Graphical lines will always be maintained, but broken by different elements, which consistently change,“ states the designer.
