The good thing about this collection is you don’t need to have a body like Twiggy to wear the clothing. The designers Melanie Fraser Hart and William Calvert kept in mind the everyday woman with basic pieces like skirts, tops, wide-leg pants, skinny pants and jackets.

This line takes the basic pieces to the next level with bold reds and yellows, tweed, hounds tooth and leopard prints.
