When so much in womenswear is ‘me-too’ and just like everything else in womenswear, it is so refreshing to find a fashion collection that is truly original and individual.
But at the same time a fashion collection that is neither hard-to-wear nor expensive…The collection SoSensational is talking about here is the 12-piece Kin Limited Edition collection, by John Lewis.
The Kin Limited Edition collection comprises four dresses and eight tops and tees, all in simple, architecturally-inspired linear and draped cuts. What also makes these pieces so original and covetable are the prints which adorn them. There are four exclusive abstract prints, which take their inspiration from a blend of nature and “urban environments”, which makes them pretty but a little bit edgy, too.
John Lewis introduced its much larger but still exclusive Kin Collection for women and men back in early 2014. The Kin Limited Edition Collection is new for S/S16.
As befits a spring/summer collection, the backgrounds to all the prints in this Limited Edition collection are white. One of these unique and strikingly original prints is monochromatic; others feature luscious pastels mixed with painterly brush-strokes of grey and black; other prints feature soft blues or warm reds.
What also endears the collection to SoSensational is sleeves. As you may realise, SoSensational loves a nice sleeve (i.e one that belongs and doesn’t appear to have been added as an afterthought). Well, good news: two of the four dresses in this Kin Limited Edition collection have short sleeves, while the two which are sleeveless would look stunning under a jacket.
Five of the tops also have sleeves and are interesting enough to be described as statement pieces, making them brilliant for resort wear or for summer parties.
And we love the prices, too: the dresses are all either £75 or £79, while all of the superb quality tops are under £60 and two are just £39.
Indeed, this Limited Edition collection is so popular (and so well priced) that a few of the pieces had already sold out – although they will be back in stock online this weekend.

This looks great. I love Kin!
Glad you like it Catrin! Many thanks for letting us know. Cyndy
I have just been revisiting your on line edit of the Kin limited edition collection for SS/2016. Some really stunning , statement pieces featuring striking graphics …….. something your designers should perhaps consider drawing from when planning for the SS/21 collection. Great brand identity!
