New arrivals: Scarlett GowingWednesday, 3 September 2008 On planet Stickfigure, aka Fashion, it ain't easy to find someone who knows how to dress curves. Sure, burlesque is beautiful, but that just won't do for the skinny-jeans-and-smock-shirt brigade.
Well, girls, grow up. And let Scarlett Gowing help you. The Saint Martin's graduate sculptures for grown-ups, wraps us in opulent fabrics, indulges in rich shades, and shows those stick insects what a wasp waist is. Her third season includes smart 'Puff' skirts, an already much-photographed sultry cocktail dress, a darling of a lavender puff-sleeve silk blouse and the bestest, biggest, cosiest cardigan for even a showgirl must keep warm. A sumptuous colour palette of bewitching petrol to dark blue, sweet lavender and a cheeky brown/purple leopard ensure a perfect fit for the season.
   
Lotsa love,
Nina P.S. Lola is still on holidays.
