I am probably one of The Sartorialist’s biggest fans.
Having spent three of the most recent years of my career trend spotting for high street brands and luxury
Italian
fabric mills, I have used this as one of my bibles. As I know do so many others in the industry.
Such a simple tool to capture so well the chicest street style and small moments of natural chic from
the worlds fashion capitals.
The menswear is as significant to me as the womens.
I love the proportions, and the character and the theatre
brought about by personal styling. Some people, so unaware of just how ‘perfect’ they are looking, and how beautiful an
image they have created for others to appreciate.
I spied a coat of mine on there, worn by a lady whom I’ve never met, but who owns the family business Imarika
which is a beautiful fashion store in Milan. She has worn it with effortless style, and has attracted nearly 200 comments for this Sartorialist entry.
What great news that my Petal Sculpt dress pulled top prize at the style awards for Ladies Day at Aintree last week. Thats a better result than winning any each way bet on the horses! Here’s the article from, plus a picture of the winner, Sophie Fairclough with Colleen. Always knew it was a favourite!

We felt it important to share our trend knowledge first and foremost, and as we spend (well Suzannah spends all her time) looking at dresses -well, not solely dresses, but art, furniture, film and vintage, which inspire the dresses that she creates. The blog’s ambition is to portray her discerning and passionate eye for the most unusual, admirable, collectable and desirable dresses and accessories around!

| French furniture from Howie and Belle – www.howieandbelle.com creates the most inspiring colour palette.
The raspberry red is the most saturated hot pink, which we will be using for Autumn Winter and Spring Summer too. The intensity and depth of all the shades will make the palette wearable and have a real feeling of luxury. |

The discovery of the site www.atelier-mayer.com
As we are the queens of everything vintage and because the majority of our dresses are based on either vintage couture, or vintage fabrics. This site, the discerning choice made by the founders Carmen Haid and Alice Kodell, and the amazing sophistication of the site itself inspired us on many levels. These are our site favourites below:

The Simple 60s shift with controlled, carved statement ruffles in the most fab turquoise blue is really inspiring our next high summer holiday palette, as it’s so flattering and against glossy white, feels so great to have fun optimistic, plastic brights again especially for SS10…

We adore this draped navy jersey siren gown with contrast gobstopper buttons holding the fabulously flattering ruching on the body. The classic silhouette will enhance your curves … And to complete the look: the most fabulous, clean, oversized clutch. We love the Grace bow clutch from Anna Vince. Navy with honey Lemon…wonderfully seventies!
