Inspiration for the Autumn/Winter collections looks back to the 1930’s – a daring decade characterized by the working woman’s tailored mannish suit. Chic is juxtaposed with the feminine glamour of floor length evening gowns. The collection is inspired by the icons of the 30’s: Marlene Dietrich, Elsa Schiaparelli and Joan Crawford. Colours are cool airy blues, soft warm green and mustard against a grey and navy backdrop.”
