The slinky 70's x

If rigid, constrictive tailoring is really not your thing, this Autumn offers a sleek and luxurious alternative, inspired by the sophisticated elegance of the 70's. No, I'm not talking about nylon abominations in colours not known to nature or checkered pants a 'la The Bay City Rollers, this Autumn it is all about the drape of voluminous trousers in quality fabrics, high waisted cuts, all-in-one jumpsuits, floaty chiffon dresses and tones of mustard, beige and nude which are given a touch of glamour with shimmering sequins. I am lusting after Phillip Lim's collection, a chambray jumpsuit from American Apparel (more Summer, but fab for layering as a transitional piece) and Jaeger's beautiful wrap playsuit. All inspiration for my latest work in progress, a cute button up playsuit which I will reveal upon completion!
