THE UNFOLDING PICTURE Introducing Autumn/Winter 2011, a return to the London catwalk heralds the start of Temperley London's 10th year in business following a series of four multi media installations held in New York over the past two years.
Inspired by decorative Venetian fans The Unfolding Picture is full of dramatic flourishes and extravagant visual reference. Intricately carved bone fans translate into delicate stitch work while a digital print on heavy silk is more literal, shown on sweeping, full skirts and luxurious silk twill day dresses. A muted, neutral palette of champagne, cream and mink is suffused with cinnamon, gold and bursts of rich venetian red.
Harking back to Temperley's heritage with a focus on eveningwear, cocktail and knits, opulence reigns supreme. Delicate tulle dresses are appliquéd with three dimensional flowers and smatterings of crystals while heavily encrusted embellishments bring extravagant eveningwear back to centre stage for this celebratory ten year show. Chic, elongated silhouettes seen in draped satin dresses and fluid silk jumpsuits pepper the collection, showcasing a more relaxed elegance and a sleek, evening option.
Drawing on the past ten years of experience, Autumn/Winter 2011 is a coming of age for the Temperley brand. Attention to detail and texture synonymous with the line is still of key importance. The tenet of the brand continues to be to create beautifully hand worked and supremely feminine clothes for the modern day woman.

At 2:50... that is TOTALLY wrong. Ever heard of a bra? Undershirt maybe?

Ahhhh, I'm salivating for 2:44, 6:17, and 6:45 is just GORGEOUS. I'd get that one - just in a different color. There are just so many beautiful and timeless pieces in this collection. Temperely really out did herself on this one.
