Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Choose Your Own Technicolour Dreamcoat
Fight off the blues, or the ‘mean reds’ as Holly Golightly so elegantly puts it, with winter coats so vibrantly exuberant you may just need to unpack your shades.
Forget the monochromatic tones; a perfectly tailored coat in a splash of decedent, rich colour can become your luxe wardrobe staple. Across the Fall collections, from Proenza Schouler, The Row and Céline, amongst others, colourful coats made for an elegant, vibrant and expected twist on sharp tailoring.
Whatever your style and body shape, there is a colourful coat to suit your individual Winter needs. Nipped in at the waist in a classic feminine silhouette, prominent at The Row and Yves Saint Laurent; boxy, boardroom chic at Dolce and Gabbana; or streamlined, sexy sophistication at Céline – fall into warm, delightful, investment pieces of luxury this season…

The New Suit
Embrace the New Suit Silhouette For Highly Fashionable Business
From Stella McCartney to DVF, Hermès to The Row; designers are embracing the suit in new, ultra feminine, flattering ways.
The suit is a firm fashion favourite. Sophisticated, sexy and chic – the suit is synonymous with power dressing. Yet today’s suits with a focus on clean lines and refined cuts, don’t need to be a flashback to 80’s ‘Wall Street’. In fact no woman’s wardrobe is complete without one…
Note: Be sure to place a strong emphasis on the fit, quality and silhouette… the perfect suit will slim and flatter your body in spectacular ways – you may never want to take it off!
Stella McCartney
At Stella McCartney (pictured above & below) tailoring is always a matter of priority. Honing her skills on Saville Row for Edward Sexton, her father’s tailor for a number of years – McCartney has become renowned for her precision cuts. Distinctly feminine and wearable, McCartney’s trousers and tuxedo jackets are cut sharp yet also soft and relaxed to exude comfortable allure.
