Katherine Autumn Winter opens with a vintage feel portrayed in a modern and charmingly fresh way. Whimsical camisoles and shift dresses with a ‘vintage scarf print’ are reminisant of dainty bygone eras.
Dainty sheer polka dot blouses are paired with tapered pants perfect for a day at the office or lunching with the girls. An exclusive quirky house print with tiny row upon row of quaint houses is featured on a charming shirt dress, sleeveless blouse and delightful jump suit. Block colour dresses, tops and flirty skirts in chartreuse, nude and jewel blue compliment the look. The midi length skirt and waterfall jacket are key shapes this autumn in shades of tarnished pewter, tawny and cinnamon.
Lace takes on a contemporary form covering silk tunics and delicate blouses as an intricate pink print. The 40’s demure shines through with feminine touches of pussy bows; self covered buttons and pretty lace inserts. An exclusive ‘artist look’ water colour print injects a myriad of colours... A pretty painterly bird print on silk georgette is used for beautifully feminie ruffle sleeved dresses and floaty blouses. Vintage pizzazz is bought in with a rich onset of colour. Tobacco, mallard green, deepest orange and cognac are seen in ponti di roma and jersey separates. This season’s statement look of colour blocking and bold stripes have not been neglected.
March delivery brings a depth of colours to the collection evoking days in Carnaby Street. Tailored Melton wool coats cover with a hint of 70’s London, in vibrant okra, winterberries and pumpkin hues. Fuzzy textured vests and crop pea coats add style and layering for the cooler monthes ahead.
Classically vintage styling makes this collection timeless. Welcome the cold with Katherine Winter 2012 collection.
