No designer creates outfits for the modern-day goddess quite like Jenny Packham and her recently unveiled Spring 2014 Collection, inspired by the Belle Epoque, contained everything we have come to expect from this deco-divine designer – vintage-inspired dresses that simply ooze glamour and luxury, sleek sheaths and stunning gowns with plunging necklines, shimmering with embroidery and embellishments…..

From the great lady herself ‘The Belle Epoque or ‘beautiful era’ transformed fashion, abandoning restrictive corsetry and creating the flowing silhouette ever since associated with the Age of Elegance. Intricate, light beading, delicate embellishment and clean, understated silhouettes play homage to an Edwardian inspiration’……

As well as everything all we love about Jenny Packham designs, there were also a few surprises in this her latest collection, such as the Regency period influence in the empire waist of the Claudia gown…..

(it is so Kate Winslet in Sense & Sensibility!)

Spaghetti strapped, simply stylish dresses perfect for the beach bound bride….

A splash of colour with this dusky peach gown…..

And the introduction of a few fabulously 50s full skirted dresses like the Audrey and the Minnie…..

Unexpected but delightful…. in fact Audrey may well be my favourite design of this collection! How about you?
