THE Thora Collection — The AW12 collection is a personal tribute to my grandmother, Thora. From a line of milliners, she had a fantastic, individual style and today I cherish a few special items she passed on to me over the years.

The collection contains garments inspired by nostalgic shapes that keep the Melabelle ethos very much in mind - to create a versatile wardrobe of flattering clothes for women with busy lifestyles. Creating garments that work for many occasions is key to this with the ‘Day & Night’ dress the perfect example. The ‘Eve’ dress is another vintage shape, with a high neck and long sleeves and the ‘Cute’ tops and dresses are a classic cut that can be dressed up or down. As with every Melabelle collection, we have designed a selection of bespoke, signature prints. The ‘Dalton’ dancer print was inspired by a mysterious envelope dated 1955, packed full of charming silhouettes that had been sent to my grandmother by her sister. More subtle star and camouflage prints also feature, and after the success of last winter’s ‘Flock’ design we couldn’t resist a new ‘Winter Bird’ print. We hope you love the new collection as much as we do. Bella.
