This is Mimi Plange S/S2016

Bill Cunningham once made reference to horse racing and fashion; driving home the point of editors/photographers who "follow" designers. I have been following designer Mimi Plange for over ten years and by far this is her shining moment in fashion. A unique talent with a vast range of technique which she blended into one collection. Her love of florals, piping, hard, soft lines and her treatment of colors all were shown. She has utilized these looks in the past but it seems for this season the bringing together of Mimi's various design strengths worked flawlessly. Some of her best pieces was her pink overcoat and her ombre style soft sherbet skirt.

Laura Ashley by Martin Wood

Coming to a bookstore soon is Laura Ashley by Martin Wood who documents the history of this designer from clothing to interiors. The book is filled with hundreds of photos spanning back to the early 1900's and through the late 1960's. 

The book serves as a great coffee table book as well a great resource for the Laura Ashley English country style. This is a must have for any Laura Ashley fan!
