Cotélac is new to us this season and what a find. Imaginative ready to wear clothing in handcrafted fabrics. First the studio team of artisans create the unique cloth with pleats, subliminal printing and inlays. Then the designs and more magic on themes to conjure the call of the wild, Arizona dreams and floral Africa. The rich experimentation and ultimate wearability of this collection will very much appeal to women on the move, enthusiastic and curious.

Emily Lovelock, also new, embodies the rich tapestry of India. The joyous dresses in jacquard and print are very feminine and for an occasion add a coat or even a little bag to match. Sfizio is also great for a special event, especially if you want to stand out. It is glamorous and playful. Look out for the marbley prints and suedette.

Next is our Elli which has a bit of German street about it. Here the fleece backed jersey jackets and cardis create comfortable silhouettes with skirts in spoofy tartan or over ultra stretchy techno dresses. The oversized pullovers and monochromatic laser print shorts are very laid back. To finish, legwear, fun beanies and cool cuffs.

The coveted Mama-b from Italy is always one to build on and a positive fashion statement too for the fuller figure especially for those allergic to wool. The pieces are quiet, understated and easy care, the quality wholesome. Perfect for work or for every day. Come early for this one. It is disappearing fast.
