Dries Van Noten

Dries Van Noten used metallics, layers and textures to create this amazing collection. Layering is always worth the thought and extra time because when used, it can add drama and uniqueness. We love all of these metallics and luckily we offer plenty of options for you to get this look. Pleat before sewing to get the Dries look.

Elie Saab

Elie Saab didn't disappoint with their famous feminine traffic-stoppers. Fabric on the perfect evening dress should catch your eye long before you see the seams and fastenings. Be sure to only ever pick fabric you fall in love with when wanting that special something. You'll know it when you see it.

Galliano

Ah, the ambassador of fun! We saw more colour at Galliano than usual this season and we LOVE it. We especially like any 3D textures for fun, imaginative garments. And we LOVE the drama.

Lanvin

If you're going to purchase one piece of fabric for Spring 2014, it is starting to look like metallic would be the best investment. We have seen it in all sizes and shapes, the new technologies revolving around the shades of metallic are incredible and we can't wait to see what our customers make with these amazing living lamé fabrics.

Manish Arora

Famous for his excellent use of colour, the Indian designer is always inspirational. This season he used fruity accessories, and crazy 'party' prints as I like to call them. We love these dresses for their floaty, flirty and fun attitude. Wear any time, any occasion. We should all have a printed something in our wardrobe.

Nina Ricci

At c, we were pleasantly delighted to be reminded that white isn't just for the Brides! It's romantic and pure and charmingly innocent. To get this look use embellished lace and wear it with minimalistic outerwear. Don't be afraid to appliqué more embellishments on your chosen fabric -more is more!

Rochas

We adore texture and have a huge range of amazing Cloques of all shapes and sizes. By default, we tend to use it a lot in dresses and skirts but why not have a tailored pair of shorts or trousers in Cloque?!

Stella McCartney

McCartney was doing things 100% her way this season and the reception was very positive indeed. As we accept that the fashion circle is bringing the 90's silhouettes back, we start THINKING about how to embrace the 'nightie' look for next spring. At Stella McCartney, they made that easier for us as we were thrown some gorgeous midnight dresses with lace panels and straps of silk.

Saint Laurent

As per usual, the tailoring at Saint Laurent didn't disappoint. In the female suiting world, these are the geniuses to follow. Again, we are looking to the 90's for deep plunging necklines but keep those shoulders powerful, and trousers fitted. See suiting in the blog for how to choose the right wool, silk-wool blend or silk wool mikado.

Celine

Layering is fun and makes any outfit look a bit more stylish and put together, but unfortunately in the Spring when it's hot and muggy the options are significantly slimmer. Netting has been used as of late but we love the drapey technique at Celine. Apply embellishments around the hem for extra floaty effects. Sexy but modest. News that next Spring Summer 14, there will be a lot more flesh on display.
