As Seen On...

 

It's seems that everyone over at ITV is loving Wallis this week. After our design director Jo Collins was seen talking through the new autumn/winter collection with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield earlier in the week, two of our dresses have now appeared on the popular morning slot.

 

Yesterday on Lorraine, Mark Heyes picked some of the must-have items to brighten up the autumn months and our stunning purple mesh dress was top of his list! The mesh sleeves and velvet floral pattern make this dress a great piece for any event. 

One of our most popular items, this dress has nearly sold out so you'll have to be quick if you're to get this stunning dress! If you're too late don't panic as it's also available in black. Equally as striking, if you invest in one black dress this coming season make sure it's this gorgeous black mesh dress.

Simple and Chic in Black

Whilst London Fashion week may be a time to showcase all of next season’s new fashion, many celebrities kept it simple and chic in black. From Lana Del Rey to Kate Moss, Yasmin Le Bon, Stella McCartney and Tess Daly, many of our fashion icons were seen looking glamorous in black. Whilst we all know that the little black dress is a wardrobe staple that will never go out of style, keep it up-to-date with a mesh neckline, ruched detail at the waist or polka dots for that classic yet glamorous look. Hold your own this year among fashionistas with the perfect little black dress.

 

Printed Trousers

The third top trend turning heads at London Fashion Week was printed trousers. We salute the fashion-fearless stars such as Jessica Alba, Olivia Palmero, Alexa Chung and Poppy Delevigne who took the plunge and paraded in their print! Here at Wallis we have a number of options to help you achieve their star-style status, including these grey leopard print leggings, brown animal tapered trousers, slim snake jeans and blue floral wide leg trousers. Team these statement separates with a plain top and heels for the complete look.

Kate Garraway Brightens Our Day

Seems like the Daybreak ladies are our biggest fans! Kate Garraway has 
been turning heads this week in our fabulous pink 1923 mohair trim 
coat. Spotted leaving the ITV studios earlier in the week and out and 
about in Primrose Hill, Kate shows us how to brighten up the grey winter 
days.

The pink coat is part of our 1923 heritage range which is based on 
designs from the Wallis archive. There is a real fun sixties feel to the 
coat, which is also available in ochre with a light brown faux mohair 
trim.

Kate pairs our gorgous pink coat with a structured black bag and 
fabulous coloured jeans. But bright colours are not for the 
faint-hearted and this coat would look great with opaque tights and a 
black roll neck tunic. 

If you are looking to invest in a winter coat this should be a real 
contender. The swing shape is very flattering and the level of detail is 
excellent - from the oversized buttons to piping and a dip-dyed trim. 
Kate's huge smile proves a bright colour can brighten your day so if you 
want to stand out for all the right reasons this is the coat for you! 
Currently half price at only £75.00 - get one before they're gone.
