Alice Temperley - SS12

What is lovely about Alice Temperley is that she continues to exceed expectations with beautifully crafted clothes.  My friend 'E' would like one of her wedding dresses and you can see why.  So like a postcard from the 1920’s French Riviera, Alice Temperley certainly had one of the chicest show closes of London Fashion Week.  Her designs for SS12 are the epitome of Style elegance and grace with flowing silks bellowing down the catwalk in floral print, ivory and other muted shades such as peach, pale pistachio and rust.       Since Art deco (one of my favourite eras) was the inspiration for this show, long line dresses and palazzo pants in monochrome tones were present, with Grecian style dresses (left) and striking playsuits.  Detailing included, multiple silk covered buttons on blouse sleeves, full length fringing on dresses, with other styles being sheer and at times, with the addition of beautiful heavy or delicate beadwork.   
If long is not your style, there was something for the city girl too in the form of luxury tailored silk jackets, shorts, shirts and tiered mini skirts.   For the full show see Vogue.co.uk: http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/spring-summer-2012/ready-to-wear/temperley-london#
