Well, here is another of the D of C’s faves and this time,
the focus is on Alice Temperley of Temperley of London. Ms. Temperley has made a reputation for
herself designing beautiful dresses for woman of all ages. Her collections usually feature embellished
designs yet remain very tasteful and rarely if ever over the top.
This season, I am torn between thinking this is about the
“bee keeper” or possibly an Asian influence due to the “coolie” hat which was
so prevalent during this show. Whichever
and whatever the inspirations or references, the Spring grouping once again
strikes a note for pretty beautiful clothes.
Many of the looks were of the more fitted top and full skirt variety,
but saying that they were influenced by Dior’s new look seems to stretch the
thread a tad thin.. Don’t you think?
There is so very little if anything that has a retro vibe to it since
the collection is apparently very modern.
Standouts included the all-white day pieces and the long
vibrant colored languid pieces. One
thing worth noting is that there is a distinct restraint in the lack of
embellishments and embroideries which have become a part of the Temperley
DNA. The prevalence of white was
welcomed here as was the wonderful ice blue with the occasional palest of
grey. There is an ageless quality here
and for sure there are many styles that will find their way into the closet of
said Duchess.
