RTW SS12: Less is More
If you’re the sort of person who prefers to wear an ordered, more sober ensemble in your day-to-day life, rest assured that the Spring shows were not just a maze of clashing brights, headache-inducing prints and complicated shapes: the order of the day, at some houses, was minimalism, minimalism and minimalism. MaxMara, available at Harrods, was strong in presenting the label’s clean aesthetic through restrained pieces, the best of which included flattering jackets and simple dresses.

Another label which one can rely upon to produce sincere, subdued clothing that is still both beautiful and timeless is Chloé. In Claire Waight Keller’s first collection for the label, the house showed attractive pieces that were utterly sublime: the calm palette of whites, creams and dusty pinks- as well as pops of colour along the way- hosted clothes that were both breezy and enviable. The best pieces were those that were embroidered with flowers- an interesting choice for Chloé, whose designs usually stick to minimal embellishment. Buy at Net-a-Porter or at Selfridges.
