After such a hot summer, time now to enjoy that nip in the air and the lovely new collections.

This time the Annette Görtz is 'Sud de France' inspired by sunflower's seeds of optimism, a beautiful designer collection, always stunning. The autumnal scrubbed corduroy suit, the limited edition gold painted coat and the scarves drawn and printed from family artwork are highlights, perfect with the frothy organza and shimmering knitwear pieces. Prêt Pour Partir our outerwear collection from Paris ties in so well here; designs and fabrics always exciting. It is a hard pick between the maxi coat in chartreuse check and the stylish swing jacket lined with caramel teddy, just two of many choices.

D.Exterior is our pedigree tricot collection from Italy affording a master class in soft tailoring. The gorgeous jacquard knitwear separates and dresses in chocolate and loden are amongst our favourites teamed with palazzos and skirts. Very chic. Very luxurious. Very occasion. Gran Sasso, also made in Italy to a very high standard, consists of some very unusual knitwear and now can also boast pretty dresses and skirts in taffeta too. Finery at its best.
