This is extremely late notice (apologies, apologies), but this is a good one: Preen has been hosting a sample sale and today is the last day! Head over to 5 Portobello Green, 281 Portobello Road from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to shop the range of our very favourite minis this side of town.

Maybe it was the economical downturn or the winter chill affecting Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi  in the design studio, because most of the collection is black, with touches of white.  The duo’s autumn/winter collection is packed with body-con frocks with a mod twist.  This all starts to work together when you look at the line as a whole.  Graphic black-and-white cut-outs plastered against the models’ bodies transition into groovy pastels paired with neutrals.  And it all starts to make sense.  Pretty pink swirls together with lavender, pistachio and pale lemon that starts to look a lot more optimistic and ripe for spring.

Whether you prefer smart and sophisticated or fun and playful (or both!), Preen’s sample sale is sure to have a little something for everyone.
