Alice Temperley Keeps It Casual For Spring 2015

Sneakers at Temperley? We never would have believed it either, had the way not been paved by Chanel and company in previous seasons. Those looking to Alice Temperley for glamorous evening looks may be initially disappointed with the Spring 2015 collection, which was a much more relaxed, laid-back affair, showing predominately separates in breezy shades of white, red, pale pink, and cornflower blue. The reason? The Somerset-born designer combined her Alice by Temperley offering with the main collection this season to create a full day-to-night range, rather than the usual evening and cocktail attire. But never fear, the jacquards, embroidered details, and ornate evening sparkle were definitely not in short supply. Key pieces included a nautical rope-print dress with lobsters on the hem, a pale pink evening gown with jewelled hip panels, and long open skirts and button-downs worn over cropped slacks. Prepare to layer up, slip on those comfy shoes, and take British glamour in a relaxed new direction.
