Carven, Paris Fashion Week AW'11

What attracts me about this collection is that it is so utterly wearable. Whilst showing smart and chic shapes, it also played with unexpected layering, kooky panels and pleats, as well as unusual twists and turns. The brand relaunched itself last year, by hiring Givenchy designer Guillaum Henry, and all for the better; "Some designers create and imagine a woman, a customer, and that's great – but it's not for me. I design for the owner's wife, my mother, my friends; someone going to work, with children, going out at night – women I know". I think this is what makes the collection so accessible and likeable.
