Whilst we’re on the subject of Moda Exhibitions, let me share with you another brand which I feel have a great season ahead of them – and that’s good old faithfuls, Curvy Kate. Again, since their awesome YouTube video (anyone seeing a theme lately of these sneak preview videos popping up everywhere?!), this Autumn/Winter collection has gotten Becky and I rather excited.
Plus, can I just take a moment to stress the excitement at the thought of a babydoll up to a K cup! The new sets boast improved fit, practical colourways and an expansion of the incredibly popular ‘Smoothie’ bra, with a gorgeous yet understated diamond embossed overlay and a brand new name: ‘Starlet’. ‘Dream Catcher’ in petrol and black – both modeled by Sophie (so much hotness in one photograph!)
- ‘Daisy Chain’
- ‘Lola Babydoll’
- ‘Starlet’ in petrol blue
- ‘Starlet’ in black
- ‘Starlet’ in red
- ‘Rosie’
The brand seem to have ‘grown up’ a lot for AW13, and whilst I’m sure many will agree that’s not necessarily a good thing (I’ve never seen so much black in a CK collection and I for one miss the lurid colours and frills of Showgirl sets of old), this season sees CK step it up a notch in their commercial viability. Lots of ‘old favourites’ have been disposed of and replaced with new an improved styles – the ‘Dreamcatcher’ apparently being the ‘new alternative’ to the old Emily and Princess bras, and the ‘Daisy Chain’ and ‘Rosie’ sets emulating the fuss-free, dependable fit of the Lottie.
