Architecturally tailored pieces such as the three quarter length coat, long lined tunic and the flood length trousers create clean lines in futuristic shapes. Unexpected colour clashing on a pallet of electric blue, ginger and black are blended on fabrics of denim, tweed and leather, while prints on knitwear pieces provide stark contrasts. Favourite pieces from the story include the ankle grazing two tone trouser and the leather T shirt, which makes a welcome return this season with fur trim sleeves. Accessories are kept simple to complete the minimalistic look, with snakeskin adding texture.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The 'Babington House' collection offers masculine tailoring and historical referencing, combined to create a quintessentially English collection with a nod to the 1970s. Russet hues blend with peach and camel while colour blocking of muted tones remains important. Ali MacGraw inspired T dresses in autumnal shade colour clashes add retro glamour to the collection. Culottes and flared cords are key trouser shapes for the season, creating fluid lines in intrepid colours of berry and burnt orange. These can be paired with a pussy bow blouse and a snug sweater vest or velvet blazer to complete this feminine silhouette. Hero items include the tweed belted trench coat and the berry Afghan faux fur coat. Accessories could include a fedora with a feather in the brim and a patent ladylike tote for 1970s chic.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This autumn/winter, the <a href="http://www.wallis.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33058&amp;storeId=12557&amp;langId=-1&amp;viewAllFlag=false&amp;sort_field=Relevance&amp;categoryId=209166&amp;beginIndex=1&amp;pageSize=20">womens clothing</a> company also pays homage to Alexander McQueen with the 'Gorgeous Gothic' collection in a story that evokes Gothic glamour. Leather and chiffon fabrication come together throughout the collection to create dramatic effects. Black mink and soft smoke lilac are blended for vintage boudoir feel. The silhouette is lean; sheer fabrics and contrasting hem lines create a provocative response, while pleats and tucks soften the look and create floaty elegant lines. Victoriana boots laced to the knee are teamed with outerwear favourites including the opulent beaded cape or the midnight black faux fur coat to complete the look.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>All products will be available on-line at wallis.co.uk including a fantastic range of <a href="http://www.wallis.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33058&amp;storeId=12557&amp;langId=-1&amp;viewAllFlag=false&amp;sort_field=Relevance&amp;categoryId=221016&amp;beginIndex=1&amp;pageSize=20&amp;interstitial=true">shoes</a>, <a href="http://www.wallis.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33058&amp;storeId=12557&amp;langId=-1&amp;viewAllFlag=false&amp;sort_field=Relevance&amp;categoryId=209666&amp;parent_categoryId=209327&amp;beginIndex=1&amp;pageSize=20">belts</a> and <a href="http://www.wallis.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33058&amp;storeId=12557&amp;langId=-1&amp;viewAllFlag=false&amp;sort_field=Relevance&amp;categoryId=223053&amp;parent_categoryId=209327&amp;beginIndex=1&amp;pageSize=20">bags</a> to accessorise outfits for all occasions.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>About Wallis:<br /> Wallis is as an aspirational, premium high street brand.

Whilst the warm spell may only offer a temporary respite from the chilly spring air and April showers, it has been enough to spark a flurry of sales at online retailer Extremepie.com, with <a href="http://www.extremepie.com/reef">Reef sandals</a> being the footwear of choice this spring.</p> <p>&ldquo;We usually see a rush in summer sandals sales following the first spell of warm and clement weather, and last week was no exception&rdquo; says Extremepie.com MD Richard Gundle. A couple of days of 20 plus degrees was all it took this year to get people thinking of summer once more, and according to Richard &ldquo;Reef sandals are leading the sales figures this spring in both the men&rsquo;s and women&rsquo;s range&rdquo;.</p> <p>The attraction with Reef sandals comes from the highly versatile design, and the exceptional comfort provided. The brand is billed as being &ldquo;ridiculously comfortable&rdquo;, and are a far cry from the cheap flip-flops which many people opt for when the temperatures start to soar. Reef sandals are the ideal choice of summer footwear for anyone who likes to head to the beach to cool off, and are great for spending time in and out of the water on hot sunny days. The footwear range was developed for surfers, and offers comfort and practicality for the beach and pack in the technology to keep the feet well supported; an area where standard flip-flops often fail.</p> <p>The Fanning is still the most popular choice at Extremepie.com, with a choice of synthetic nubuck to cope with the water, and full grain leather for a greater comfort and style away from the beach. The sandals provide excellent support thanks to an anatomically contoured compression moulded EVA footbed, and a 360 heel airbag gives superior shock absorption on hard baked surfaces. A non-slip gripped footbed makes for excellent traction, and the Fanning features thirst quenching technology; namely a bottle opener built into the sole. Whilst the sandals are at the upper end of the price range, the additional cost is matched by a long lifespan certain to see out the summer and beyond, and the whole package has proved irresistible this year.</p> <p>Whilst Reef sandals are undoubtedly a premium brand, part of the attraction comes from the broad range of footwear on offer, with many models also sold in the budget category. The Trinidad, Tobago, and Pulse models have all seen a rise in sales over the past week thanks to the run of good weather, and at well under ten pounds per pair it makes them one of the most affordable choices of summer sandals at the online store.</p> <p>Whilst the temperatures have dropped since the highs of last week, Reef sandals sales are continuing to dominate the sales figures at Extremepie.com, with the public having had an early taste of things to come, it would appear that they do not want to be caught out on the next warm sunny day, whenever that may come.</p> <p>For further information on the 2011 collection of Reef sandals and to get prepared for the summer visit: http://www.extremepie.com</p> http://en.brinkwire.com/2364 Tue, 12 Apr 2011 16:28:02 GMT fashion retail womens-fashion Debenhams exposes The Cougar Effect driving sexy lingerie sales <p>Debenhams, leading lingerie retailer, is reporting sales of sultry lingerie among women of a 'certain age' are booming thanks to the glamorous 40-somethings of Sex and the City 2 and Cougar Town.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The hit TV show, and forthcoming movie, showing the bedroom antics of women in their 40's and 50's and their much younger partners, is being credited by Debenhams with the rise in demand from women of the same age. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>A nationwide analysis of the most popular <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/lingerie">lingerie</a> styles from October 2009 to April 2010, by the high street store, revealed that empowered 40 plus women have given the more seductive side of the lingerie industry a big boost.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>These women are rediscovering their figures, often after having children or getting divorced, and are enjoying the confidence boost that a great fitting bra can give.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Previously the peak purchasers of cleavage enhancing bras, basques, thongs, stockings and suspenders, have been women in their early 20s.

One was going camping in the woods and then once you are in the woods it almost goes into a twisted Narnia type environment&quot;, commented Jacqui Markham, Topshop Joint Head of Design. &quot;There's 30 designers in the team and they just bring to the table all their different ideas, and we try and create a bit of a theme, a bit of a hook, that we can tailor the collection around.&quot;</p> <p>Defending against the elements, saddle brown battered leather parkas are cosy with quilted linings and shrunken waxed cotton jackets in uniform blue and khaki brown appear in a swing shape and cropped gilet. Duffle coats and trenches keep out the cold with reversed sheepskin linings on the outside of the body and voluminous wool scarves and cable knit socks offering an extra layer of warmth. Berry coloured corduroy tailoring with leather panelling gives a modern twist on traditional countrywear, whilst loden green wools in a boxy jacket, pencil skirt and short shorts look more rugged and are adorned with Girl Guide inspired award badges. Old fashioned pyjama-esque striped slouchy cotton trousers and shirts continue the idea of a camping trip in the wilderness.</p> <p>Practical details feature throughout; skirts have suspender strapping, belts have release buckles and sheepskin bags secured by harnesses have old-fashioned binoculars and torches as charms. Canvas and leather lace-up boots are sturdy with multiple buckles and detachable ankle covers and mini pouches.</p> <p>Offsetting the utility/survival feel of the collection, prints and fabrics are heavily influenced by woodland creatures and nature. The sumptuous teddy bear fur coat is reminiscent of a grizzly bear, fluffy mittens are paw-like, and shoe boots are adorned with tufts of sheepskin. In contrast, soft chiffon blouses and dresses with hand-crafted crochet and lace panels conjure up an image of a warped fantasy world full of woodland nymphs and fairies. Mushrooms, clovers and twigs are scattered across jersey vests whilst wild wolves, deers, rabbits and owls hide within the camouflage 'Woodland print' but stand out in their full glory as headdresses.</p> <p>Karen Bonser, Topshop Head of Design, said, &quot;To be at London Fashion Week alongside so many credible and talented designers, it's a great thing for Topshop to be able to do and to support British fashion.&quot;</p> <p>Notes to editors:<br /> - Unique is Topshop's progressive collection, created by the in-house design team.

A denim pencil skirt and matching cropped strapless basque are in panelled denim dyed in three different jean colours, ideal to be worn together, but can also be styled to great effect apart. A geometric devore grid design runs down the full length of a black body-conscious full length dress, a sweatshirt and a loose-fitting jersey tee, great for relaxed urban living.</p> <p>Scottish born print designer Jonathan Saunders graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1999 with a BA in Printed Textiles, going on to graduate from Central Saint Martin's in 2002 gaining an MA with distinction in Printed Textiles. Jonathan joined the New Gen scheme for three seasons 2004-2005, sponsored by Topshop, which began their working relationship. Following three seasons showing in New York, Saunders has recently returned to London.</p> <p>One of Saunders' trademarks has been his use of traditional silk screening techniques, developing the concept of engineering prints around pattern pieces.
