There ’s a  random reference in my mind  to Oliver Twist and  Les Miserables  when I look at this Engineered Garments Women’s collection  . Thoroughly smitten with the looks and the details of the apparel which make yours truly want to throw away any ‘acceptable notion ‘ of proportion and  rock each look,   in all its  complete layering hotness.  Pants and skirt, always !

Bold  and womanly with an exquisite air of mystery, the Trussardi 1911 Autumn 2011 collection illustrates why this label has been able to remain a serious contender when it comes to  quality and elegance  for quite some time. Favored by those want a brand that is a little “je ne sais quoi,” kept under the radar with subtle and almost invisible branding, this collection is one to love, case in point the “Cruella  Deville” style pants above. More on the flip via Fashiongonerogue.

forty-year-old Australian retailer Cue partners with Aussie  fashion darling Dion Lee (who made us want to wear Rorschach  prints all over our bodies last  Spring) on  a capsule collection of sharply-tailored Autumn pieces. Highly detailed, the  collection aims to perfect the elements of wardrobe must haves like blazers, dresses, outerwear and knits. Discreet at first glance,  a closer look reveals pleats or cut-outs  that make each piece a classic to covet beyond trends and seasons. A closer look on the next page via Fashionising.
