Alice's Garden Handbags, shoes and jewellery

This stunning range of matching and contrasting accessories represent the last word in Italian chic. Stepping out, the theme is animal magnetism, with patterned stripes and furry boots straight from the jungle. Interesting shapes and patterns abound among the dressy shoes - all eminently wearable and practical, whatever the occasion. Block heels, wonderful patterns and retro style make this a collection to die for. The handbags span the same gamut of jungle based patterns and styles to match and mix - Congratulations to the designer (and to the animals!).  

Antonella

An interesting mixture of a collection, Antonella produces completely wearable and elegant clothes for any woman - in the street or at the cocktail bar. The daringly short numbers have a very youthful feel about them and if they can get away with it, will take ten years of any woman's age. The evening collection has the same appeal, keeping well within the bounds of reason and not pushing the credibility envelope too far. The ubiquitous ‘little black dress' puts in another appearance with a knitted, and more daring variant modeled by Click's Russian beauty Albina. All in all, a collection that was designed to be worn and adorn, rather than bought to shock or awe, or covet to grace no more public a space than the inside of the owners closet. Bene!

Imago Tricot

This collection brings us right down to reality. The practicality and charm of these would even appeal to your mum, no matter how trendy, or not she might be. Wonderfully modelled by the excellent girls from Click, this range of striped, flecked, ribbed and cosy knitwear is a complete hit.  Saucy berets, adorable scarves, jumpers, shawls - this was mainstream, feminine ‘girl next door' stuff. More please!

Production

Sound was great, organisers fantastic and really helpful. The only word of criticism, the lighting and the smoke on stage. When are these guys going to learn that pure 3200k lighting is best, this is not theatre, it is FASHION.
