Christmas 2010 is all about sophisticated, elevated glamour. Sequins are upgraded to rhinestones with the silhouette leading the way in design detail – it's all about draping, sculptural frills and exaggerated proportions. Premium, luxurious fabrics such as soft velvets, furs, silver jacquard and silks are used to add a sense of indulgent texture. Floor length evening dresses exude elegance with an emphasis on draping and Arabian Nights embellishment whilst cocktail dresses are given a more sculptured edge. The wired hem baby-doll adds an air of femininity in washed out pink with rhinestone detailing. Tailored jumpsuits offer an on-trend alternative to dresses with styles in soft black velvet, halter neck with wide leg trousers and silk with embellished shoulder detailing. Lux-grunge comes in the form of silk shift dresses adorned in chains, fringing and beading. Ruffles, metal work and sheer paneling add detail to tops – team with tailored masculine cut trousers or draped harem styles. For stand-out style the chiffon frill hot pants with beaded waist and matching all over frill jacket are key. Outerwear features faux fur – perfect for day-to-evening style or classic double breasted grey marl Bell Boy meets military style coat. The Denim collection is all about glam grunge – knitwear is adorned in vintage esq beading and sheer panels or deconstructed in a cobweb knit with attached pom-pom scarf. T-shirts are given the graphic treatment with animal prints and festive captions. Denim is slim cut ranging from dark indigo, charcoal to gold enzyme wash –cashmere mix creates a premium denim innovation.
