Karen Millen launch their Spring/Summer 2010 collection this morning in the salubrious surroundings of the Aviation Lounge in Bentley’s on the Green. This latest offering heralds a new carefree mood from KM with elegant, draped pieces perfect for layering combined with lots of flowing fabrics with feminine detailing.

A more relaxed silhouette dominates the collection in a mixed palette from calm neutrals to hot tropical colours & prints bringing vibrancy to the mix. Some of the highlights include the pale grey silk top decorated with delicate ruffles and cocktail dress finished with gorgeously embellished jeweled shoulders.

Body-con continues this spring with one of my favourites being the sporty sharply-cut dress with origami fold neckline in monochromatic stripes. Fans of colour need not worry as cobalt blue, coral and yellow add pops of bold uplifting colour and abstract digital prints providing a cool, futuristic feel to summer dresses.
