I’m a big Kate Sylvester fan so I was super excited to find out her Autumn/Winter 09 lookbook has just been released...

Kate didn’t show at this year's Fashion Week due to other commitments, so this is our first look at her upcoming collection entitled ‘Black Swan’. The collection is inspired by ballet dancers, black swans and black roses and is as rich and beautiful as you would expect her collection to be given those influences. The colour palette ranges from deep blue, rich burgundy and black to soft greys, baby pinks and ivory. My favourites are the fitted leotard like grey dresses, pretty oversized pink cardie and of course the tutu inspired dress. The collection is super elegant but very wearable and inspiring enough to have us all channelling our inner ballerinas come next autumn.
