The term chic is commonly bandied around but the debut ready-to-wear evening collection from Delphine Manivet is the epitome of chic.
At her official launch last night at her new London atelier, lady-like salmon chiffon confection with its exquisite hand sewn beads of a lighter hue were to die for as were the structured dresses one sees Parisien women tripping around in.
Manivet is a favourite amongst French actresses and the high-end set in Paris and the Cote D'Azur as robes de mariees couturier and her skill has trickled effortlessly into evening wear. Friends and clients-as far as Saudi- had jetted in for the launch.
Respectively coloured black and salmon romper suits nonchantly worn with hands in pockets are worn sans chausettes during the day in St Tropez or with killer Gianvito Rossi heels and coltish legs for dinner at Scotts.
Divine divine divine and I simply must have the short long-sleeved black dress with its rigid peplum skirt.
