John Charles - Spring/Summer 2012 Collection.

The great British Summer heralds the beginning of glorious sunshine, blooming bouquets of colourful flowers and the quintessentially English garden party. John Charles’s Spring/Summer ’12 collection has been inspired by the sights and sounds of this annual tradition. This classically English pastime led managing director Regine Ellis’s research into tea party-wear ranging from diaphanous lace embroidered gowns of the 1920’s to the bright floral printed swing dresses of the 1950’s, right through to the recent royal wedding fashions of the big day.

It’s with this wealth of research the S/S ’12 collection was formed, creating a collection that is fresh and light with true versatility. Flexibility is a key belief of the brand and this season sees the inclusion of a range of floaty chiffon knee-length dresses available with a coordinated silk bolero jacket, designed for day or eveningwear. These light summer pieces dazzle in bold seasonal floral prints from bright dandelion gold to tulip pinks and pastel cornflower blue. Perfect cruise-wear or great for a destination wedding.

John Charles’s contemporary mother of the bride-wear is focused this season on its popular defined silhouetted dresses but also on the internationally sourced and luxurious fabrics that have helped to create the brands signature style. The exquisite fabrics are delicately embellished with ‘hidden’ lace and pearl detailing on cuffs and collars keeping the excitement of the piece flowing, wear after wear. The hand embroidered detailing is applied to striking abstract floral printed dresses, nipped in at the waist to create a natural feminine 50’s shape with matching print boleros. Stretch cotton print dresses are a key element to the collection allowing comfort as well as glamour in the outfit, perfect for those warm summer parties.

Other key pieces include long jacquard coats over matching monochrome floral print silk dresses.

Please note that this is just a small selection of what is available in store. Snooty Frox of Harrogate, North Yorkshire cannot guarantee that all the collections shown on our web site will be available.
