Spring is all about pared back, contemporary style. It’s clean, feminine and effortlessly elegant, capturing the best of chic Parisian fashion and 70’s Riviera chic with the right mix of preppy British influences.

The season starts in a classic colour palette of navy, white and cream highlighted with lightblues and pinks. White is the earliest trend to be seen with Broderie Anglaise and lace beingkey in simple yet stunning shift dresses. Printed jumpsuits and pleated dresses are wornwith patent leather bags. Pleats are an important detail for Spring seen on long sleeveromantic dresses, little skirts updated with confetti floral prints and chiffon summer dresses.
Preppy tones evolve into muted greys, beige, nudes and dusky pinks seen on more relaxedsilhouettes. Dresses are floaty and feminine with silk shifts updated with tribal inspiredembellishment. Fabrics are soft and draped with twist back vests, heavily washed chinos and loose cheesecloth shirting.
As Spring evolves into summer a retro 70’s glamour is evoked channeling Bianca Jagger in St Tropez. White tailored shorts are matched perfectly loose floral tops, white dresses feature delicate layered frills of Broderie Anglais and vintage esq. embroidery on care free smocks.

Traditional nautical stripes feature on cotton shorts with rope belts, shell printed playsuitsand clean Breton stripe tops. Bold colour blocking delivers one of the key looks from thecatwalk and add an impactful clash of colour to the paired back palette, on western styleshirts and breezy tie waist smocks.
Holiday wear continues the 70’s beach vibe with a wide range of swimwear where brightflorals and stripes dominate. Strapless cut out swimsuits, printed and polka dotted halterneck bikinis stand out. Bold purple butterfly prints and a Japanese floral garden print addretro glamour to off the shoulder beach dresses and swimwear.
Accessories continue the retro Riviera feel with suede bags, black raffia clutches, solidround wooden bags and suede box bags all with gold stud and fastening detail. Carry-allduffel bags add instant glamour on the beach with patterned cotton scarves and beach bagscompleting the ensemble.
