		Designer: Ben de Lisi Ben de Lisi's latest design installment saw a rainbow of the most visually stunning colours dyed on fabric that effortlessly enhanced the model's curves to exude feminity. Sexily cut dresses that swayed down to the catwalk, to leave just enough to the imagination and the palatable rest to the eye, showed his adept talent for dress design. Interspersed in all the glamour were separates that stuck to the same colour scheme, but used everyday formats like: the rainmac, skirt, cropped jacket and blouse to leave a tantalising after taste on how women should dress. Models Spotted: - Prominent Colours: Purple, cream, yellow, pink, white, mint green Accessories: Adler, corsages More Info: Tel: 020 7730 2994
		Designer: BOYD Tracey Boyd submerged herself in the creative garden of her imagination to produce a collection saturated with pieces that draw on her appreciation for beautiful flowers. Embroidered or printed along the hems of dresses, skirts, jackets and bikinis (or as the canvass), the collection saw the designer cleverly incorporate the beauty of flowers into variety of manifestations to yield a ethereal collection that worked. Standout pieces included: a flapper chocolate dress with sequin belt (think F. Scott Fitzgerald's book This Side of Paradise but, without the beads), belted denim short sleeve jacket with sequin white skirt and a host of baby-doll styled smock tops that were delicately embellished with flowers. Breath-taking. Models Spotted: Elizabeth Jagger, Lily Cole Prominent Colours: White, peach, pink, blue, indigo, denim, red lime-green Accessories: tan wide belts, embroidered sashes Visit: Tracey Boyd
