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.
