LK Bennett Black Ribbon Collection
The LK Bennett Black Ribbon Collection is a capsule collection from LK Bennett for the Spring Summer 2012 season. It is a collection of very high quality clothing, made from fabrics including silk and leather, which includes dresses, jackets, trousers, blouses, tops and cardigans, which coordinate with each other for a polished, designer look.
LK Bennett Letta Trousers and Letta Dress
Highlights of the collection have to be the LK Bennett Letta Trousers and Letta Dress, pictured right. Made from soft and supple leather, the Letta Dress is sleek with a silhouette that defines that of your own. The leather has a navy hue, single pleat detail to the bodice and a vent in the skirt and the back. The navy Letta Trousers are made from soft and supple stretch leather to hug your legs all the way to the ankle. They have the standard five jeans pockets and can be worn for both on and off duty occasions.
LK Bennett Lauren Dress, Angelo Jacket and Kay Dress
The photo at the top of this page shows, from left to right, the LK Bennett Lauren Dress, Angelo Jacket and Kay Dress, all from the Black Ribbon Collection.
I think that the photo demonstrates how items from the range can be successfully mixed and matched together. For me, the Angelo Jacket is a perfect match for the Lauren Dress, making the duo look like a skirt suit, yet LK Bennett have achieved a great look by teaming the Angelo Jacket with the Kay Dress in blue.
Coordinated Separates
The Black Ribbon Collection has some lovely tops and blouses. Of note are the Hallie Tops, designed to team with the trousers in the collection. They are long sleeved pussy bow blouses with pleating to the front, and they are made from top quality silk chiffon and are available in three colourways. The Dellio Tops, available in white or blue, are drape neck sleeveless tops made from Italian silk jersey.
The entire collection is pictured below.
Sizes: The Collection is available in UK sizes 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18.
