Ultra pretty feminine styles steal the show in this collection, with stories such as Candy Floss Pink and Taupe. "Jackie O" style jacquard coats with scoop necklines and bow belt details are contemporised by puffball hemlines while shift dresses create further luxurious details with pearl adornment on necklines. Velvet bows on cropped jackets and 1950s cut dresses are emphasised with tulle underskirts to create a more dramatic look.
Blue satin 1950s style dresses overlaid with lace with jewel and bow details continue their Hollywood inspired story, further glamourised with fur stoles and jacquard opera coats for a truly stunning chic look. Other key details include laser cut work on dresses, structured shoulder details and matching boleros with puff sleeves. Mohair coats in candy floss pink finish this luxuriously opulent story.

One of the key stories of the collection is the Chanel-inspired monochrome palette, where timeless elegant fabrics such as tweed, lace and velvet merge together to create a high end fashion look. Knitted cardigans are adorned with romantic details such a ruffle floral sleeves, and puff sleeve dresses appear with detachable pearl necklace details. Contrasting black and cream tiered silk georgette dresses look elegant when teamed with black and cream coats with fur and lace collars.

Simple tops also carry simple French styling as we see black and white stripe tops with extra black centre bow detailing worn with high-waisted trousers and tailored jackets. In stark contrast, contemporary Parisian styles such as animal print and leather take centre stage and sit well beside each for a timeless city look.
