Ladies who wish they had been born an English Lord of the Manor can channel one with the Hermes A/W 2010 collection.Gentry at Hermes
Inspired by the type of clothing that an English dandy would swan around his sprawling countryside estate in, came crocodile blazers, leather trenches, little leather skirts and tweed blazer combinations, which were more James Bond than they were Bond Girl.
The sight of Kelly bags is always enough to make us shiver with excitement and this season the Kelly girl has brains to go with her beauty, carrying visible copies of ‘The Times of London’ neatly rolled in her Kelly bag.
Eccentric Miss Mui Mui
Prada’s little sister, Mui Mui, is always a little quirky, colourful and left of centre, and this collection was no different.
Mini dresses came out, made from thick woollen fabric. The texture was different and interesting and reminded us of the types of fabrics that we once cut up to create school projects.
Adding to the feel of a childhood art project were giant cartoonish flowers, large bows and gems that were attached to the necks of turtleneck jumpers. Bright tangerine and lilac overcoats added even more colour.
Ponytails were clipped onto models’ heads in colours that contrasted to their own hair again adding to the youthful, fun and eccentric feel.
