What makes this collection so flipping interesting is that the designs have all come from Kate’s work in bridal. This guarantees you exceptional fit, distinctive silhouettes and fabric combinations that will just make your heart skip a beat. Above everything is a real sense of occasion in these designs. You’re definitely getting the drama that is so often missing with outfits that should work for ‘special’ occasions. These designs are all about the special and just imagine how it will feel to wear one…
We also have to mention those fabric combinations in more detail because err, hello..? Have you seen these images..? The lace bodices could well be our favourite thing ever but then, the butter soft leather and luxe satins… We need to sit down a moment.

Of course, it’s the designs themselves that really steal the show. Let’s just take a minute to appreciate those barely-there backs, big bows, huge heavyweight skirts and the superlight fringing. Just think how you’d feeling arriving at an important event in an outfit from The Black Edit – feels all kinds of good doesn’t it..?
Halfpenny London, you’ve smashed it with The Black Edit so dear readers, if anyone is telling you that anything else is the new black, ignore them because they’re talking nonsense. Black is where it’s at.
