Caroline Charles Autumn Winter 2010

Next up on the catwalk at London Fashion Week yesterday was Caroline Charles.  A native London designer, Charles Autumn Winter 2010 collection featured retro 1940′s lines and embroidered patterns in modern shapes and styles.  Highly wearable, her collection was full of great formal dresses.

When asked what inspired her AW10 collection, Caroline Charles replied “The icon is always Audrey Hepburn. Elegant and self-assured. The autumn/winter 2010 collection is inspired by my days spent in Venice and Istanbul and their hand-embroidered, beaded pieces to treasure. The shapes will be modern with intricate details that wrap and layer. Fabrics range from cashmere weaves and silk paisleys to Fairisle knits and soft suedes, all in edible colours (olive, chocolate, saffron, cream, liquorice and plum).”

Incidentally,  we loved the white gowns from her SS10 collection, so we’ve included a few snaps in the gallery below.
