Swan by Clements Ribeiro Autumn 2012 Collection at Evans

I was recently lucky enough to attend the press launch of the Autumn 2012 collection of Swan by Clements Ribeiro for Evans.  It was held in London and I was delighted to be in the company of fellow bloggers including Hanna, Bethany, Naomi, Amy and Joanna.

Having never been to an Evans event before I was excited to meet their PR team and see what the collection was like.

The event was held in the press room of Arcadia's London office - a lovely venue which not only had Evans Clements Ribeiro items on display but also a few from Wallis, Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge as well.

I fully admit that I am not the most fashion-conscious person.  I don't buy any newspapers or magazines (unless a weekly tv guide counts...) and don't spend time trawling the internet to find out what the latest trends are.


The most pertinent reason I don't do any of this is because, in the main at least, 'fashionable' clothes do not suit me.  With a classic hourglass shape, I need clothes that define my figure, nip me in at the waist and are flattering across the bust.  Many trendy clothes do not do this.
