Last night I had the pleasure of being invited to the Hobbs and NW3
Autumn/Winter 2012 press day (is there a better end to a rainy Tuesday?)
and let me tell you, I was more than impressed. I've always loved the
classic tailoring of the Hobbs main range and the quirky prints of NW3
but for AW12 they have really outdone themselves. What I loved most
about these collections were that whilst Hobbs have nodded towards some
of the key looks for the coming season they have remained true to their
roots of quality and quintessentially British style.
The jewellery
and accessories have really stepped up as well (who doesn't love a
necklace with a bike pendant?) and I think these are areas where the
brand will really set themselves apart going forward. Stand out pieces
for me were a two-tone shift dress combined with a detachable peplum
belt in black leather, a floral fifties-style dress and a faux fur
collar (along with just about every print in the NW3 range). Oh, and
some of the amazing leather bags. Obviously.
I personally can't wait to shop the Hobbs and NW3 AW12 collections - but for now take a look at the awesome SS collections here (I love the floral blazer and the dani bag by NW3).
I love Hobbs and NW3, it sounds like the A/W collection will be really exciting, I can't wait!
