Wear is Winter?

Sew it seams winter is upon us and Jaq and Bel are pin-pointing this season’s winter trends with part 1 of their Autumn/Winter 2012 collection.  The inspiration behind the collection was drawn from the silhouettes and classic cuts of ladies wear in the 1940’s.  The fitted dresses in the collection exude a classic feel with contemporary elements, such as colour-blocked bright jewel tones, a new smaller, more prominent version of the Peter Pan collar, and pleat detailing to create interest and structure.  This pleat detailing is carried throughout the collection on shoulders, waistlines and the back of garments.  This is a signature Jaq and Bel characteristic, as they like to have the collection flow every season, they will always have one or two particular details that will be followed through on all garments.

Overall the collection oozes appealing combinations of jewel tones, interesting detailing and structured silhouettes, the perfect recipe for a Jaq and Bel customer to make a statement this winter.
