Manning Cartell’s latest Autumn Winter collection, entitled ‘Land of Fae’, appears to draw from myth and legend. From Queen Boadicea to the Mikado to modern fairytales of the supernatural, the sisters spin a tale of their own.
Luxury and unexpected details abound; a zip here, a flash of citrus or the addition of leather there. Furs, textures and embellishments are bold.
This season’s emphasized shoulder is present, but is more subtly highlighted rather than exaggerated as in recent incarnations of the style. Plunging necklines throughout the collection are provocative.
The colour palatte, often metallic or mysteriously murky, draws you in. Yet angelic whites, pops of pink tending towards fuschia and splashy watercolour-style prints add levity to the range.
A selection of our favourite pieces are found below. We particularly covet their Watermark Dress and the Matte Lustre Top. Overall Manning Cartell’s Autumn Winter 2010 collection is intriguing – somewhat indefinable – but still very, very cool.
