Boutique Collection

Jesiré Boutique Collection presents a range of sculptured shapes in luxurious fabrics this Autumn Winter. Inspired by the Impressionists Monet and Matisse, designer Bruce Robbins has crafted his collection from a beautifully subtle colour palette of slate, mauve, ice grey and wineberry with hints of exotic red, to lift the dark winter mood. Mixing traditional heritage fabrics such as tweed and cashmere with minimal, architectural silhouettes, Bruce creates a sleek and understated look.

Masculine style has never looked more alluring with simple, clean, laser-cut lines and slinky tailored suiting. Well-cut wide leg trousers are key, while georgette satin and flowing shirting gives the tailoring a womanly edge. Whether it’s a sleek shift or a full skirt, the conceptual contours of these carefully constructed garments are subtly transformed by structured collars, nipped in waists and voluminous sleeves, for an effect which is modern and grown-up. The leather trimmed, long-line coat nods to Duchamp with its Cubist chequered print and offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional skirt suit when teamed with the co-ordinating pencil skirt.

Floral prints are neatly integrated into the collection and take inspiration from the Orient epitomised by the Japanese Blossom print on silk taffeta and the Iris motif which adorns delicate silk dresses and flowing blouses. An abstract printed shift dress in grey and black is a highlight, infused with a modern vibrant red rose print.

Elsewhere in the collection a stunning array of bold knitwear in confident shapes can be found, along with engineered rib pieces where belting and geometric colour blocking have been introduced to control volume. Statement pieces include the bright red oversized dress with leather belt, and the stylish batwing jumper with decorative blocks of neutral colour. Silk cashmere yarns and extra fine merino wools create a luxurious approach to knitwear basics and offer an opulent finish to any look.

The season brings with it a selection of sumptuous occasion dressing with a couture feel, showcasing the most luxurious cuts and exquisite fabrics. The mood is distinctively vintage offering a diverse range of elegant eveningwear along with variations of the ‘little black dress’ which is core to the collection. Fabrics are highly decorative and exquisitely detailed with black shimmering jacquard or opulent sequin fans adorning garments. The striking strapless puff-ball dress creates a dramatic statement in glittering damask while a simple black dress is updated to become a stylish shift with embellished flared sleeves. The floor length evening gown offers a touch of Hollywood sophistication to complete the collection.
