Autumn/Winter 08 stock is already arriving in store, ready for you to come and get the must have pieces of the season before anyone else. Here's a rundown of some of the collections already available. This season, Matthew Williamson works Emilio Pucci's signature graphic prints in cooler, alpine shades of blue, mauve, silver and jade green. The collection includes classic Pucci dresses, as well as coats cut in a voluminous egg shape and ski pant skinny leggings. Snowflake and icicle patterns feature on dresses, necklaces and tops, giving a fresh and crisp edge to the collection. Under Olivier Theysken's guidance, Nina Ricci continues to take a younger, edgier path. The Autumn/Winter 08 collection is dominated by opulent colours such as bronze, gold, brown and ochre. Layering is very prominent in the collection, with flowing chiffon blouses designed to be worn beneath tailored jackets. The collection also features voluminous trousers that tapered below the knee, and blazers and coats with a round shouldered silhouette. This season, Lanvin womenswear features a dark palette of slate grey, smoky silver and elegant blacks. Although the collection is dominated by a clean, elegant silhouette, all pieces feature great attention to detail, with skirts and dresses in horizontal layers of pleats and encrusted tops. True to his reputation, Alber Elbaz has delivered an impressive range of sexy yet simple cocktail dresses. Inspired by British colonialism, regal triumphs and his recent trip to India, Alexander McQueen's A/W08 collection is a concoction of romance, dark gothic and Victoriana. His highly skilled tailoring is adopted on black lace and knits, contrasting with full skirts in white and cream. |

More than just the founder and President of Jimmy Choo, Tamara Mellon is also ever-present as the face of the brand, and it is a face that is often donning super sleek shades. No surprise then, that Jimmy Choo are now introducing a brand new range of sunglasses to their accessories lines. As with the original luxury shoe range, and the handbags that followed, Mellon came up with the idea for the sunglasses range because she didn't feel satisfied with what was on the market at the time. Mellon's own sense of style, (she was previously accessories editor at Vogue), was the driving force behind the first Jimmy Choo collection in 1996, and has continued to play a key role in the company's success both in the UK and overseas. The Jimmy Choo philosophy is to create exclusive shoes and accessories that are both luxurious and practical for all occasions, and the sunglasses range ticks both boxes with aplomb. From the Aviator style Charleys (pictured above right) which are pure LA, to the glamorous Rock shades which have a large Swarovski stone on each arm, there is a style for every taste. And each pair comes in their own specially designed cases, naturalement. Whichever pair you go for, they all one thing in common - the classic chic and sexy design synonymous with Jimmy Choo, which make them perfect for hitting the seaside, slopes or streets. Jimmy Choo sunglasses are available exclusively at Harvey Nichols London. |

The range includes iPod and iPhone cases, computer bags, luggage, briefcases and small leather goods, all hand crafted in Italy and made from the finest leather. With the addition of red, chocolate, grey and off white as well as the signature black and burnt henna colours, there's plenty to get excited about this season.
