La Petite Salope, style with cheek
Since fashion week will ripple on for weeks after its finale, I feel that it’s perfectly acceptable to continue adding in little finds and favourites along the way. One presentation in particular completely distracted me from where I was headed last Monday. My brain was still a little sleepy as I attempted to juggle my Cannon, a notebook, and the rest of the contents in my bag whilst managing to sling my press pass around my neck on the way to Body Amr, when I caught a glimpse of a room packed with pretty dresses at the end of the hall.
La Petite Salope, or for us English speakers, The Little Strumpet, is a perfect pastiche of cotton, jersey and drapey silks (and I do adore all things draped). I walked around feeling my way through folds of fabric, which normally looks rather strange in public but actually seemed standard in this showroom, until I arrived at the very last rack, satisfied. The brainchild of designer Nicola Helgesen, La Petite S***** (it’s current branding) stocked some interesting qulited frocks, and a heavy dose of twisted, textured cotton which I loved–nothing simple or ordinary about this line. Fluid silk silhouettes looked luxurious and were regally draped–a new era in youthful sophistication.
From there, I checked out the A/W09 offering of La Petite S***** on LynkU and picked out the very best velvety, sparkly looks.
To shop, left to right: Star by Julien MacDonald clutch, Terry de Havilland Margaux shoe, Angel Jackson Sequin satchel, Jimmy Choo leopard print pumps, Bottega Veneta lilac satin clutch, and Fendi leather and suede shoe-boots.
