revealed a collection of modern archival interpretations, something that the
design team have been successfully working on since 2005 when the brand
launched its contemporary womenswear collection Jaeger London. For Autumn/Winter 08/09 the brand combines a hint of
the 60s with luxurious elegance. Highlights included sharply tailored woollens,
sassy cape coats and silk velvet kimono dresses.
In keeping
with the British flavour make-up was stark and pale with just a dab of dark
lippy while the hair fell in slinky super-straight sheets. Along with
sophisticated key wardrobe staples Karen Boyd and her team displayed a range of
prints from geometric block shapes to oversize houndstooth and vibrant
snakeskins. Tones ranged from liquid petrol and forest green to neutral camels
and browns plus a heavy dose of black.

rich heritage of luxurious textures and fabrics, beautifully cut in innovative
and directional silhouettes. Karen Boyd and our dedicated designers have
created a highly contemporary and desirable collection that showcases Jaeger’s
strengths to their optimum.”
