We just wanted to let you know you can now shop the new Swan collection for Autumn by Clements Ribeiro. After a groundbreaking collection for SS12, Clements Ribeiro and Evans have collaborated for a second time to bring you an exclusive range that’s bound to excite. Taking last season’s Swan to another level, dresses and sophisticated separates remain at the core of the collection with an emphasis on autumnal colours such as oxblood red, tan, cobalt blue, dark violet and black. Watercolour pansies, constructivist tulips, and the designers’ favourite, the ‘Salome’ print, influenced by Aubrey Beardsley’s sensuous artwork, dominate the beautifully cut pieces. Commenting on the collaboration, Inacio Ribeiro says, ‘ It has been a pleasure to work on this pioneering project. With this second collection, we gained a lot more confidenc .and designs are more sophisticated in order to give the curvy girl beautiful clothes which are relevant to this season’s trends
