English inspired collection
“I’ve bought the collection home,” said Emilia Wickstead as she greeted the audience at her crowded atelier in South West London, where she presented a gorgeous autumn/winter
collection to an intimate crowd.
The English inspired collection presented a feminine and elegant style, with a touch of youthful, demure appeal. She took Eighteenth Century references like ballooning layered skirts and square necklines and gave them modern day flair via straight pencil skirts barely hidden beneath and block pleated baby dolls skirts attached, respectively. Double-faced cashmere princess coats in coffee and blush pink and A-line matching dresses had a knowing innocence, the Emilia Wickstead woman is as confident in her sex appeal as she is in her bank account and she has no need to flaunt either.
These are clothes for making an impression in, and they won't fail you, but they'll never see you letting loose either.
