Moonlight Sonata

The romantic allure of first spring is captured in Moonlight Sonata, the whimsical new story from Forever New ... 

A delicate airiness conjures a feminine colour palette of ivory powder, dusky lilac, soft mint, apricot and periwinkle; awash in vintage border florals and swirly deco prints. 

Bygone eras are subtly referenced with vintage details on new season shapes. Crochet inserts and white on white embroidery decorate blouses and tops, with deco style embellishment adoring dresses for formal occasions. Column maxi dresses, floaty split-hem gowns and flouncy 1950’s style prom dresses are the perfect choices for the first occasions of the season. 

This graceful collection is enhanced with classic finishing touches. Pastel-toned structured day bags and box clutches make pretty day-to-night options, while heels are worn tall with dainty ankle straps and intricate embellished details. Jewellery is subtly shimmering and encrusted with pearls and gemstones.

Forever New's Botanica Collection

Inspired by bouquets of blooms and Monet’s garden landscapes the new Botanica Collection from Forever New offers fresh, new found femininity ...

The softest of flowers set against painted, flowering, garden landscapes conjures a delicate palette reminiscent of Ladurée macaroons; with shades of aqua mist, apricot sorbet, powder blue, lilac, petal pink and Chantilly cream. 

Watercolour floral silk prints flow on evening gowns, with prom dresses featuring lace, crochet and delicate embroidery details. Flounces and ruffles create beautiful movement in the softest of shades, while blossom applique details are delicately feminine. 

The gentle and romantic story is set off with sparkling jewels that are intricately detailed with petal shapes and ladylike pearls. Pastel rose-hued party heels and embellished modern box clutches provide the polished finishing touches for occasion looks.
