Reiss A/W 2010

I am a Zara afficionado and I have the odd French Connection splurge but Reiss has to be my definitive high-street safe haven. We can count on Reiss to deliver viable garments that exemplify the key elements of the season's collections. This Autumn/Winter 2010 is no exception. Reiss is currently taking delivery of the best in grown-up femininity. Reiss by-products exude all that is smart, sexy and polished - akin to this new wave of refined fashion that is settling in comfortably.

The current collection boasts military style coats, capes and an aviator style jacket, reminiscent of the one seen at Burberry Prorsum. Sumptuous leather remains a key favourite throughout the season. Yves Saint Laurent and Celine demonstrated that this is a trend not on the brink of obsolescence any time soon. Lace has also segued through to the coming seasons. Seen at Givenchy, Dolce and Gabbana and Christopher Kane this intricacy is perfect when partnered with tougher sartorial elements such as strict tailoring and the aforementioned lustrous leather.
