This collection reminded me of a 1950’s sweet shop. The colours were so feminine, as vintage floral prints stood proud against emerald greens and sugared pinks and browns. Gorgeous combination! The models looked fresh faced with dewy skin, rosy cheeks and lips with a natural eye makeup.

Flirty, feminine ruffles in chiffon featured a lot in the collection, adding volume and drama to the clothes. My favourite was a tie on ruffle bustle that you would wear like a back to front bum bag. It was a mini version of a Victorian dress!

The soft feminine look continued with lace detailed added to hems of skirt and shorts. The skirts were knee length and very floaty and the shorts were tailored and also came to the knee.

The soft feminine look was contrasted with sleek tailoring and sculpted shoulders on both dress and leather jackets. The trousers were high waisted with a large tie bow at the waistband with a peg shape leg, that was cropped to the ankle. Tailored leather dresses in mocha were softened with the lace trimming which looked gorgeous!
