Armour yourself

Clearly I am feeling all of the Grecian draping showing at London Fashion Week for Spring/ Summer 2010.  I’m not sure who wouldn’t look good in fluid jersery and silk.  It’s elegant and effortless, which brings me to Body Amr’s S/S 10 presentation of poolside luxury.

I visited the showroom with my fellow fashion-lover Suzanne, who dissected The September Issue alongside me at the Electric several Saturdays ago.  She has been sporting her Amr for several seasons, and who else to better guide me through the collection than a veteran?  When we first arrived, we sat in on the film presentation, a dramatic clip featuring a gorgeous model traipsing around the Nevada desert in Body Amr’s must-have spring collection. I was hooked.

Then onto the clothes, where we were able to feel our way through the collection (not as cheeky as it sounds sadly, but I love nothing more than exploring fabrications).  The line was inspired by the clean simple lines of RTW American fashion, according to the reading material.  Beautiful fuscia and peach mix with aqua and bold metalics this spring.  I adore ( x100) this wrapping champagne and coral maxi above–it makes me wish for a warm spring evening asap.  Here we arrive at the predicament of working months ahead of the curve: unfortunately we’re still several seasons off from wearing any of these pieces, but this would be perfect for my Croatian holiday (oh so slowly approaching) next summer.

These candy floss colours look sweet and romantic swirled together in this halter dress.

This gold sequinned mini is the perfect metallic pop for Spring/ Summer.
