Is it just us or is getting ready sometimes the best part? (Now if we could just train our children to bring us a glass of champagne…) As lifelong friends and co-founders of LUX FIX we couldn’t look more different - curvy vs slender, huge hair vs poker straight, but we do share one crucial thing, we both want to walk through the door of an event, party or meeting looking standout! Over the following pages you will find the latest collections from our passionate independent designers, where everything is special and you won’t bump into anyone wearing the same thing. Love,

Never Ever Look Ordinary
RUMOUR Former City professional Victoria works out of her London studio to create dresses that, her army of professional fans will attest, truly are day-to-evening.
VICTORIA’S INSPIRATION Victoria designs for the busy woman who juggles office and social commitments on a daily basis. Her focus is timeless day-to-night investment pieces without the usual investment piece price tag.
ABOUT THE AW 2015 COLLECTION It’s all in the detail. The fabrics are soft on the body yet breathable; the dresses are figure skimming without squeezing, and glamorous while still office appropriate.

THE Fold
The Fold / Kylie Eyra Martin
Clerkenwell based Polly McMaster bade farewell to her days in the finance world to launch a label dedicated to the needs of professional women, who want to look as good (better!) as a man in a bespoke suit.
POLLY’S INSPIRATION
ABOUT THE AW 2015 COLLECTION
The Fold’s passion is clever tailoring in amazing fabrics. From a dress that will wow for a key meeting, to cleverly cinched and gathered pieces that can be worn to any smart occasion, from racing to lunch.
Look out for consummate feminine style with luxurious details. Waists are cinched to flatter and peplums are used to great effect, drawing the eye just where it needs to go. Arm coverage is a The Fold signature, along with structured panels for a streamlined silhouette.

CeMe London
From their London headquarters, the CeMe design team spend their days pinning and draping their signature jersey fabrics to create ultra flattering dresses, that still look fabulous after their 100th wash.
HARNAIK’S INSPIRATION
ABOUT THE AW 2015 COLLECTION
CeMe designer Haranik’s inspiration is all in the fabrics. Neither skimpy nor dowdy, each dress is designed using panelling to flatter curves and hide tummy areas with clever ruching.
Look out for draped sleeves and bust-shaping wrapover necklines, along with CeMe’s signature ruching over the stomach, which will encourage exclamations of “goodness you look slim”.

ABOUT THE AW 2015 COLLECTION
Anjelica designs for a woman who loves looking stylish but also values comfort and practicality. Eden Row dresses are made from a very clever bistretch crepe which looks wonderfully smart but can be machine-washed.
With strong silhouettes like these you can really appreciate the endless hours spent at the pattern cutting and toile stage of the design process. We also rather appreciated the full stretch linings, which really do hold everything in!

BODY Frock Notting Hill based Melanie Davies has worked with the same Portuguese production team for over twenty years.
MELANIE’S INSPIRATION Melanie designs all Body Frock collections with the same thought in mind, which is, ‘I want to make the best of you.’ Good design requires good foundations and dresses are no different - the super comfortable sculpting slips are designed to smooth you over and push everything cleavage-wise up, ensuring you look your most gorgeous the whole time you are out.
ABOUT THE AW 2015 COLLECTION Bodyfrock’s new collection is crafted in the most luxurious materials: filigree and guipure lace, silk and leather. Hemlines are mainly kept ladylike and on the knee for a demure look, with subtle flashes of skin through flattering lace.
“I must tell you how pleased I am with my Lisa dress. Everyone commented on how lovely it was and I felt like everything was held in where it should be! Very comfortable!” Suzanne W.

JAMES Lakeland James Lakeland loves nothing more than zipping around the fabric and yarn manufacturers of Como, Florence, Rome and Milan to source the most beautiful and innovative fabrics, and each piece is made in Italy.
JAMES’S INSPIRATION Like the Italians, James is production obsessed, remaking the same garment over and over again to ensure it is perfect. The James Lakeland signature is innovative fabric in form flattering silhouettes: every piece in the collection undergoes an exhaustive fit process.
ABOUT THE AW 2015 COLLECTION James’s core philosophy is that clothes must look good on the woman, not just the hanger, and this is at the heart of his latest collection. Look out for easy to wear, feminine, figure celebrating shapes in stretch crepe.

TROLLIED Dolly Founded by two sisters, Louise and Nicole were inspired by their dressmaker mother to mix up retro inspired designs and make them fabulous and fresh by using unusual and beautiful fabrics.
LOUISE AND NICOLE’S INSPIRATION Our cuts worship the feminine form! We embrace curves and design to suit. We cut to skim gently over any ‘unwanted’ curves, and to balance out by the use of darts, pleats, well positioned waistlines, pockets, and sleeves.
ABOUT THE AW 2015 COLLECTION For this collection our ideas centred around vintage inspired chic. Classic lines from fabulous fifties frocks, swinging sixties shifts, and bohemian flowy femininity from the seventies. We wanted the dresses to be retro inspired yet very wearable and versatile enough to take you from the office to the bar, or from the school run to lunch!

ABOUT THE AW 2015 COLLECTION This season is all about hard working hero pieces, accessories you will reach for again and again. Hayley’s pick is the reversible Geneva which she has designed for versatility and warmth.

FEATHER & Bone Portobello Road based Carol Mckeown designed for high street stores for twenty years, but when she inevitably became older than the twenty-something customer, she decided to go it alone and design what she wanted to wear.
CAROL’S INSPIRATION The high street is so obsessed with catwalk trends Carol thought she’d do something different, and focus on cutting flattering timeless clothes.
ABOUT THE AW 2015 COLLECTION Look out for throw-on dresses and tunics that look anything but ordinary. Tunics are fitted on top with a 3/4 length sleeve, so you don’t have to worry about what’s going on in the middle! These tunics are just made for wearing with jeans too - especially if you turn up the bottoms to reveal a flash of ankle (a reliably bony part of the body that doesn’t get too cold!).
