Talk about colour pop! With a '70's summer' feeling, the SS11 collection debuted bringing to life the catwalks after previous collections kept to nude palettes.  Starting with a bright orange, high neck, belted jumpsuit, the collection kept with a 70's feeling theme with floral tea towel pattern blouses with white bootcut trousers then a mysterious metallic orange floral print suit. From here the collection became contemporary - a gorgeous Henri Bendel style blouse with yellow shorts lead into a plunging v neck yellow wrap dress and red and white striped flirty dresses. The collection maintained simple shapes, asymmetric body concious tops tucked into printed trousers, skinny white trousers and tailored shorts. To bring the collection to a close, the pieces moved into pastel floral prints in the shape of chiffon maxi skirts and dresses.  It was summer in the city at it's best with imaginative prints and easy, wearable shapes. A good collection, and a good cover of colour...
