MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL….BENDON IS THE MOST GORGEOUS OF ALL

Summer 2008

Evoke the mystery of the enchanted kingdom with this season’s charming collection from Bendon.

Inspired by the dramatic contrasts of good and evil, and darkness and bright, the Bendon collection invites the heroine into a world of tangled vines and intriguing hidden gardens. There’s a juxtaposition between classic, clean lines and detailed opulence, from simple peasant styles to exquisite vintage corsetry, pin-tucks and pleats. Velvet, diamantes, jewels and pearls add a touch of magic to the collection.

Fabrics are both functional with crisp, clean and lightweight styles and feminine with intricate laces and embroideries.

The collection runs through three distinct colour palettes including intriguing darks to cool shades, warm to mid-tones and bold explosions of defiant jewelled brights.

Love being in the spotlight? Then you’ll adore Mesmerised, this season’s flirty, fun polka dot range in fashionable Navy and Cream from Bendon. Mesmerised features exquisite stretch satin with lace detailing finished off with sweet navy bows. Enhance your natural curves in the plunge contour bra, perfect under low cup tops and dresses.
