Temperley and Alice Spring 2011 Collections


When you think of Spring, does the theme "getting Medieval on your ass" come to mind?  Me neither.  The Temperley "Guinevere" collection and the less expensive "Alice by Temperley" collection held their presentation for NY Fashion Week on Tuesday.  

One collection featured some innovative (but surprisingly wearable) variations on chain mail.   Leather corset vests, armor-inspired necklaces embedded into ladylike dresses.  Another showed soutached black lacy embroidery.  A simple t-shirt print had Gothic cameo motifs with chandeliers and ravens.
