Spring/Summer 2010

The new colours of the season have the lightness and clarity of watercolours after the more solid tones of winter. The inks, silver greys and sparkle of white, with the occasional stunning patches of blue, and the softer pinks, golds and violets of sunsets, evoke the freshness and variety of British skies and seascapes. Tones that are flattering, and enlivening to the spirits.

The easy fluid styles of the Crea collection perfectly reflects the indigos, silvers and white shades, and sits well with the smokey indigo, old gold and true blue of the Sita Murt range from Barcelona, and the colourful prints of Essentials' silk dresses.

The colours and textures of Marion Foale's new cotton knitwear collection positively invite you to try them, and, with the equally beautiful shades of Christopher Fischer cashmere, are a brilliant way to enliven the existing wardrobe and to mix with your new season's choices.

All of the above colours, plus the tropical shades of hot pink,turquoise and deep sea green, appear in the wonderful selection of beautiful soft textured linen pieces from 120%. Dresses, tops, tunics and trousers, with or without embroidery or sequin embellishment, perfect for holidays and summer afternoons.

Joyce Ridings' crisper or rustic linens are very good in black, pecan, grape and oatmeal, and look equally special and relaxed.

MaxMara Mainline, Weekend and S MaxMara continue to be a much appreciated staple of our collection being both directional in Mainline and S MaxMara, and more casually wearable in Weekend.

For weddings and social occasions Paddy Campbell is hard to beat, with her beautifully cut printed dresses and the option of an easy bolero cover-up.

For our customers in larger sizes we have added a new label - Sulu, which is easy, fluid and flattering.

We believe that this Spring/Summer 2010 we offer a great choice with something for everyone.
