    ADDICTED TO LBD

    Chloe Loves this… Because this Marios Schwab dress is the ultimate example of a perfect LBD. Desperately easy to wear, this sleek black dress is ideal for the cooler months as it's long sheer black sleeves, keep in the warmth while remaining chic. The zip detailing at the front insures the piece is particularly figure fitting while the patent leather panels attached to each arm provides just the right amount of detailing to an otherwise simple silhouette. It's low square neck and short length further transforms the demure garment into a failsafe key wardrobe piece that can always be relied on for a sharp evening look.

    The little black dress or iconic LBD as it is known is thought to have stemmed from the early designs of Coco Chanel in the 1920's. Her simple black dresses were always effortlessly wearable and were able to transcend season due to their timeless cut and impeccable use of quality materials.

    After studying at the Esmod Fashion school in Berlin and receiving a distinction Marios Schwab moved to England in 2003 to pursue his fashion career and obtain his masters degree at Central St Martins. Shortly after his graduation in 2005 he launched his first collection with Fashion East showing following alongside the career path of numerous young successful designers such as Meadham Kirchoff and Lucy Hutchings. After two short years Schwab was ready to stand-alone and was given the chance produce his own on schedule collection at London Fashion Week. Since then his collections have been extremely well received by the fashion community, winning awards such as Best New Designer at The British Fashion Awards and the Swiss Textile Award.

    D & G SWEATER

    Chloe Loves this… Because this D&G Ocelot Crew Neck Sweater is enough to bring out the inner tigress in us all. Inspired by the Latin American Wildcat the print resembles the delicate natural patterns of the creature's coat. Made from 100% Virgin Wool the jumper is wonderfully soft and is sure to keep you warm. Team it with straight black trousers in the day or a tight black mini for full impact in the evening.

     

    D&G, the second line for Dolce&Gabanna was set up in March 1994 by the Italian design partnership Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana. Interested in designing a more youthful, casual collection the team decided to create a completely separate label that would cater to a different sort of clientele. Still enamored with enhancing the curvaceous female form, the simple separates are cut beautifully and are able to shape the body. The brand is also very well known for its well-made accessories that range from gold plated watches to luxury bags and purses. Since its launch the brand has gone from strength to strength and just this year they have opened a new flagship store on Bond Street. Remaining relevant and casting Alexandra Burke as the face of their campaigns D&G stands firm at the forefront of cutting edge fashion.

    HOLLY FULTON DRESS WITH CRYSTAL

    Chloe loves this… Because this vibrant Salmon coloured shift dress is no ordinary party dress. Inspired by the 80's French cultural movement Cinema du look, in which directors favoured style over substance, Holly Fulton has made sure this look is visually tantalising. Intricately embellished with fine detailing, the crystals are arranged into a signature geometric print all the way down the front of the dress. It's simple silhouette makes it the ideal canvas for such a bold design while the high neck and three quarter length sleeves are perfectly offset by the subtle shoulder pads.

    After attending the Royal College of Art Holly Fulton started work designing Womenswear and accessories for Lanvin. Her experience there inspired her to create her own collections that quickly became dedicated to producing a luxurious and powerful aesthetic. She thoroughly enjoys working with unusual materials such as Perspex and metal and is especially fond of creating accessories to go with her looks. After successfully showing with Fashion East for two consecutive seasons, she was able to branch out on her own in 2010 for Autumn Winter in her first solo show. Critically acclaimed by her fashion peers she was given the Swarovski Award for emerging talent in accessories in 2009 and has also won the Young designer of the Year Awards at the Scottish Fashion Awards.
