Established in 1945, French fashion house Carven was given a facelift last year by Guillaume Henry of Givenchy who joined as designer creating chic, classic everyday pieces creating a collection epitomising French style.
This collection, Guillaume Henry draws his inspiration from 60s French cinema and shares his vision of French elegance with pleats, smocked or draped fabrics and crumpled lining. Contemporary high-waisted silhouettes and slim belts, pencil skirts and cute, if not a touch mischievous silk school-girl socks.

With draping and pleats reminiscent of Burberry Prorsum's Spring/Summer 10 collection, these pieces are injected with the streamline elegance of Hervé Leger's bandage dresses in a stunning rusty, autumnal pallette.
This collection embodies chic Parisian style, with cinched in waists, natural shades of mushroom and flesh tones, contrasted with bold black footwear and beautiful charcoal bags to rival any Mulberry satchel. This is truly a collection of which you couldn't simple have just one piece.

More temptations to trap one in that awesome haven from the real world the Bluebird Chelsea, I love going their but always end up spending far too much time in the shop and then going back to the cafe for seconds.
