Continuing on our way through some of fashion’s finest press days Catherine and I went yesterday to view Karen Millen’s Christmas 2009 party pieces, plus we got a preview of the Spring 2010 collection.
Taking notes from runway collections the Karen Millen line continues to cater for a modern, fashion-focused woman. The designs are well-made and certainly worth their affordable price-tags.
First up the evening wear which was predominantly black and full of heavy embellishment and diamante detailing. The dresses are all really different, which was great as each one offered something alternate. Long and short lace sleeves were used to complement an otherwise basic dress design with a small fishtail added on the back which was an elegant touch. An asymmetric piece stood out with it’s coordinated frills traveling down the front creating beautiful soft lines in a fully feminine way.
A seasonal favourite- the sequin- was not amiss here either. I was more than glad to see shoulders and necklines covered in them. Like a magpie I quickly felt favouritism kicking in with a blue sequin cropped jacket and some black diamante encrusted shoes. The perfect accompaniment to dress up any outfit and timely for the oncoming festivities.
