Pauric Sweeney

Liberty moves into next season with collections from some brand new designers and of course, the ever covetable Liberty art fabric pieces.

Liberty’s early support of Michael Van Der Ham continues with a selection of his knitted lurex dresses in autumnal shades and draped Grecian velvet dresses.

For the first time, Liberty is stocking pieces from Lulu & Co, including this stunning Louise Gray for Lulu & Co. sky blue tunic dress. Liberty continues to be the ‘go to’ store for Antipodium, Richard Nicoll, Christopher Kane and Carven (look out for the most adorable navy duffel coat).

One of the most exciting new arrivals is the new collection of geometric satchel bags by French designer Florian Denicourt.

Based on rue Charlot in le Marais, Florian Denicourt (formerly a designer at Vanessa Bruno) is known for his beautifully-crafted androgynous leather accessories, all made in France.

Pauric Sweeney’s Autumn/Winter 2011 collection will be available in store and he has designed an exclusive range of embossed leather bags for Liberty, which bear a resemblance to the iconic Ianthe print.

Desirable bags for the new season come courtesy of Jérôme Dreyfuss, newly-stocked brand WYRED and Alexander Wang (how about those metal-hinged messenger bags!).

Liberty prints feature highly on the agenda with limited edition Liberty print Barbour jackets, seasonal scarf designs and a brand new selection of Liberty Knot Watches.

Autumn/Winter accessories include Jennifer Behr crystal braided headbands, Simeon Farrar screen-printed scarves and crystal-encrusted sunglasses by A.Morir Keren.Rose.

Dominic Jones, Elke Kramer and ACB by Annie Costello Brown make their debut at the jewellery hall alongside new collections from Eddie Borgo, Lucy Hutchings and Iosselliani.

Cocosa is one of fashion’s best kept secrets and their flash sales offering discounts of up to 80% on premium niche brands are becoming legendary. I signed up when it launched and some of its highlights for me have been mega savings on Zoe & Morgan jewellery, Liberty of London scarves, Pauric Sweeney bag Jonathan Saunders dresses and Beatrix Ong shoes.

Every so often, they reward members with one off competitions and this one is a little bit special. Cocosa are offering the chance to win a pair of Michael Lewis for Luella shoes made exclusively for Luella SS10 show. Neither money nor love can buy these shoes, so it really is a rare chance to get a piece of Luella history.

The competition will close on the 4th (at noon) and is open to members only. If you haven’t already registered, just type in the invite code associated with this competition, iwantshoes and this will allow you to become a member.

Good luck!!
