A new collection, Damsel in a Dress, has launched at John Lewis. Fashion Statement has been to see it and highly recommends the beautiful Cleopatra dress – perfect for a wedding or special occasion – and the Diana silk top, which could be dressed up or down. The clothes are all handmade and limited-edition, so you will have the glow of knowing you are highly unlikely to rock up to a party and discover there’s two of you in the same frock.

Liberty of London has unveiled a limited-edition collection with uber-fashionable store 10 Corso Como in Milan (Fashion Statement has had a coffee in their cafe and never felt so underdressed in it’s life). Artist Kris Ruhs has re-interpreted their iconic Ianthe print on both clothing and accessories. The range will be sold exclusively in Liberty and 10 Corso Como in Milan and Seoul.

If it’s not launches, it’s relaunches: this week Ben de Lisi revives the Principles label, exclusively at Debehnams.
