changes to spring 08 collection

The spring samples have arrived, been sorted, cancelled, replaced and redesigned.
Here are the changes so far:
1. Cancel previous sweater design and replace with a satin-lined sewn to shape sweater jacket. Tentative colours: dark heather grey, golden olive

2. change material and colour for coat dress from loop back jersey knit to woven stripe cotton, in dark grey (with white accents) and black (with dark grey accents)

3. Add a waterproofed cotton raincoat in the same woven-stripe cotton. One run in all black, the other dark grey with black trim. Both styles have a large silver clip buckle and silver buttons at hip pockets and cuffs. New favorite coat?

4. Change colour of jersey loop back knit coat (cancel melon and olive) to "putty" (think a warm grey with a touch of lilac added) and palest grey. Also added D-ring closure to belt and lining to upper body.

5. Add a dress in matching materials and colours to the above:

6. Change colours of kimono sleeve dress. Keep the olive with white trim, add dark grey heather with white trim. The manufacturer put these cute ornate buttons on the original sample (by accident?) which I really liked so the plain plastic ones will be replaced by the accidental cuter buttons.
7. And lastly, add a new dress. I wanted something simple for office to day to night. This one can do it all. It's made of the softest stretch rayon jersey and has a really flattering criss-crossed wrap around the waistline.
