At last, Autumn is drawing near and with the changing season comes rich jewel and Bloomsbury shades, velvet, tweed and heavy knit textures.
Binbin McNiven’s covetable label, t.b.a has come into its own this season with some coquettish velvet doll dresses with lace collars, high-waisted trousers, peter pan collar shirts, princess coats and metallic gold shorts.
What sets t.b.a apart from other ‘cool girl’ labels is the attention to detail – contrasting collars and pockets, delicate pompoms and flashes of velvet.
Undoubtedly luxurious, t.b.a is also very reasonably priced, given the individual look of the pieces, the most expensive piece being an illustration printed silk pleated dress with pompoms at £180.
As you may have already guessed, Alexa Chung, Tennessee Thomas, Chloë Sevigny and Maggie Gyllenhaal are among Binbin’s style muses, so get their awkward gamine look by styling up the pieces with brogues, berets, satchels and knee socks.
t.b.a Autumn/Winter 10-11 collection is available now at Urban Outfitters and at www.ilovetba.com.
