A summer of Roksanda Ilincic
In the month she unveiled her 2012 Cruise collection with the brief ‘Effortless Glamour’ it seems fitting that Serbian Born, London-based designer Roksanda Ilincic should transfer some of that glamour to the High Street. Her first capsule collection for Debenhams has just been launched, under the RI label. This is an evening wear collection made up of five different styles of dress, from chic cocktail styles to full length and fabulous draped gowns. After viewing the collection, I can truly say that I’m in love. Using a pallet of black and white as a base, this is a stunning collection of utterly wearable yet totally glamorous dresses.
