Laura Lees

Lees layered felt tunics and pinafores over turtle necks and puffball sleeved blouses.  Peachy pinks, turquoise and black and white monochrome stripes kept the look refreshing and youthful. A teal silk tunic with floral pattern added an oriental edge whilst knee-length empire frocks injected a folk influence. Summer dresses were carried over into autumn with opaque tights and a black & white striped Lily Allen style dress featured a sash waist and Lee’s signature appliqué around the hem.

The collection had an undercurrent of danger with spiked sashes around waists and spiked heels. A pink fabric floral muffler added unexpected detailing to the pretty frocks with a touch of grown-up quality.
