Love the Layering!

It has been a while since our last entry...the weeks seem to be passing quite fast but hope everyone is having a very Happy New Year! 2010 brought us much excitement and we hope 2011 will only continue that way. We have been busy finalising our new collections over the past months and, as the new collection has already received much positive press, we thought it was about time we delve a bit more into what to expect this year!

We were very happy to see that Glam UK recently picked our extra long short sleeve top with button detail to feature as part of its loveable loungewear to outerwear article! This piece, like the rest of the collection, is a versatile classic style that can be worn by itself, or layered with other pieces from the collections to create your own personal style. Below is possibly a perfect combination: our extra long short sleeve top with button detail with the cropped bodice tricot cardigan with front zip and thumb holes.

In our previous post Press Breakfast at Harrods dated Tuesday, 23^rd November 2010, you’ll remember images of the new Kelly Hoppen for Earth Couture collection. These images, along with the few sneak peaks below of other pieces from the collection, portray the integral part layering plays with these designs. As with the current collection, the beauty of these pieces is that everything can be worn together. Whether it be the sleeveless racer back top under the thumb hole cardigan or long sleeve top, the endless ‘mix and match’ aspect really makes these collections truly timeless necessities in your wardrobe!

Along with developing these layering style strengths, the above images show that the new Kelly Hoppen for Earth Couture has also added a dash of colour. With shades of khaki, pink and purple, the layering between pieces becomes a styled story. With dresses that can be layered with each other or different tops or even the popular mesh detail leggings, which have been carried over from the current collection, the possibilities of loveable loungewear also being outerwear are really endless this season.

So why wait, love yourself or your Valentine with some Kelly Hoppen for Earth Couture loveable loungewear!
