Fit and fabulous
Hussein Chalayan for J Brand
The man who designed clothes that turn into chairs has now collaborated with the renowned denim company to create a line of lust-worthy leg mates. While many question the point of designer jeans, those who have experienced the luxurious feel and impeccable fits have turned into addicts. Hugging you like second skin and accentuating every curve, if these do not motivate you to hit the gym, nothing ever will.

Cover up
Mango
The chill is still here. To counter it stylishly, you have all the assistance you need. This selection of jackets has a wide variety of materials. Denim layered with lace, studded and faux leather, tweed and suiting fabrics are used to create neat, structured styles that are still ’80s inspired, but streamlined. The overlap zipper closure dominates. Quite the ‘bad girl’ range. Head-turning!
At exclusive outlets at leading malls across the country.

Tribes and stripes
Etro
The Italian designer brand’s winter 2009/10 collection is graphic and bold, with lots of gold. An Egyptian sensibility prevails, with the use of colour blocking, stripes, borders, petal shapes and fringes. The materials include suede, matte leather and skins. Beautiful pattern quilting, ruching and geometric weaves texture bags of various shapes and sizes. Leather, wood and laquer jewellery have tribal hints. Every piece is a statement, sans shouting initials. Indulge.
