Bohemian glamour is the key theme at Vera Mont this season, with a collection of elegant evening wear designed to help you make an entrance. Decorative elements and opulent fabrics combine to create an extravagant, sexy and feminine look ideal for winter balls and Christmas parties, featuring influences from the Orient as well as the vintage touches beloved of fashion houses for the past few seasons.

Rich, luxurious colours such as dark red, deep blue, cassis and plum glisten like jewels in organza, satin and shantung silk fabrics, while draped chiffon and sunray pleats recall a bygone age of true glamour. Details like gold lurex embroidery, velvet trim and floral lace ensure this collection embraces the recent trend for folkloric influences.

The newly-fashionable concept of mixing different patterns and fabrics is updated for winter, with heavier materials like velvet or satin paired with delicate taffeta or printed chiffon. Inserts and sequin details add further interest within the younger VM range, where easy-to-wear separates sit alongside slinky gowns.

Focusing very much on the decorative, mix-and-match elements of winter fashion, Vera Mont also introduces ornaments such as brooches, rhinestones and satin ribbons, and the whole outfit can be finished to perfection with a faux fur stole or retro-glam evening bag.
