Pastels are one of the big trends in colour this year with delicious ice-cream shades on all kinds of fabric featuring heavily on spring summer catwalks including Burberry, Christopher Kane, Chanel and Marc Jacobs to name just a few.

GANT has gotten in on the pastel action and has drawn inspiration from Italy & the zestful Italian way of life. The result is a collection of modern casual wear with a European flare, reminiscent of the effortless glamour of an Italian ‘60’s movies – think the narrow streets of romantic Rome to the breathtakingly beautiful scenery of the Amalfi Coast.

‘Sporty elegance’ is the essence of the ‘New Nautical’ range which I must admit I’m quite drawn to for summer.
