| CoSTUME NATIONAL |
These two looks from Costume National are elegant and sophisticated, ideal for urban landscapes and for women who are confident in their own skin. Deconstructed tailoring and unexpected layers work as a symbolic fortress, where the woman is guarded but powerful.
"Fashion is a form of pleasure, it seduces the self and the others." Ennio Capasa, designer of Costume National

Produced in Italy, Forget Me Not has a whimsical feel, the latest shaman collection features esoteric imagery, animals seen as totems within an enchanting reality. The designer - Coco - studied fine arts in Paris and is able to create a surprising visual narrative.

| Teatum Jones |
Catherine Teatum and Robert Jones are the designers behing the label Teatum Jones. After being chosen as one of the 10 finalists for the Fashion Fringe competition in 2009, they launched their debut womenswear collection the following year. Their style suits a romantic and feminine woman who is bold enough to stand out from the crowd.

| L.K. Bennett |
I also have to mention an established and accessible luxury brand - L. K. Bennett - founded by Linda Bennett in London in 1990. The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, has worn the same pair of L.K. Bennett nude shoes on many occasions. The appreciation is mutual, she seems to be an inspiration for next season's collection.
