The new-in section is glittered with an array of elegant chiffon fabrics and soft silhouettes, intricate detailings of broderie anglaise and romantic lace, as well as neutral colour palettes that enable pieces to easily slot into your existing wardrobe. Keep scrolling to discover the pieces that went straight into my basket.
