LATEST: The latest S/S 2011 ready-to-wear collection is a metallic dream where deft draping meets skilful structure. The metallics melt against the skin and the classic silouette of the dresses are contrasted by the modern draping. Harem-shaped trousers as well as skinny ripped varieties rule the catwalk . The pops of a mustard-gold pieces add a delightful boost to the greys and silver pieces shown below.

LOVE OR LIKE?: I love this collection because of the sexy and sultry way the pieces swim against the body, without showing too much skin, and I’m a real weakling for structured pieces.




Always chic, always inspired.
