Best seat in my house.

Early indications from Jasper Conan’s new tumblr site suggested in my eyes a black, white and silver monochrome theme.

Black and white photos, black shoes, black and silver invitations, piano key like images. In fact unlike the very citrusy colours of the S/S 2011 collection it appears to be typically Jasper Conran.

I was so excited about the early signs as I love that black, white and silver look. Very, very 20’s and 30’s and quite Hollywood.

Would the collection, be anything like this?…..Or are they sending us on a goose chase or is it my perception from an untrained eye, very wrong?




Sitting on my bed, laptop balanced on my knee, coffee in one hand, daybook in the other, I'm ready.



The stage is set, Lights, camera, action!!!



OK, ok, I am very wrong... Hollywood NO! 20’s 30’s NO!





Try London in the 60’s. .



Beautiful, black straight silhouettes graced the screen first, boyish mod look with zipper tops and over the body courier type bags. Black hot pants and long straight legged trousers. Then came the shift dresses in White, black and silver colours. All teamed with black opaque tights and small squared heeled shoes.

Thigh high boots were seen, with short skirts and more zipper tops. Also a fantastic two piece suit with a short skirt and double breasted jacket, which I want.

Then came the metallic bronzes and copper colours. Reptile like print shift dresses and skirts with more opaque tights. Suede sleeveless jackets and skirts added to the 60’s theme.

Of course something else Jasper does really well is to accessorize. Beautiful Stephen Jones oversized hats made an appearance and the fluffy clutch bags were fun.

The crowning glory was an oversized fur coat, which didn’t float my boat but appears to be popular with fashion writers and bloggers on twitter at the moment. Just goes to show what I know.


All in all, the whole collection was very Jasper, feminine, wearable, tailored, simple, elegant and most importantly obtainable to the everyday women like me.
