The leading British designer Bruce Oldfield has for a very long time been one of Jan’s favourite designers – a point we made earlier this year.
His iconic bridal gowns and evening wear keep him right up there at the top of his game.
Usually, with such iconic design and such exquisite fabrics, go super-huge price tags – two Oldfield hallmarks. But not now because, as we also said back in April: John Lewis has an exclusive Bruce by Bruce Oldfield collection making Oldfield affordable.
Bruce by Bruce Oldfield launched exclusively at John Lewis on September 4 2015, so the new Autumn/Winter 16 collection is the third Bruce by Bruce Oldfield Collection exclusively for John Lewis. Even better, this collection is actually two collections: mainline and 73 NYC.
73 NYC takes its name and its inspiration from Oldfield’s early career during the 70s when he arrived in New York to work with the likes of Halston. For 73 NYC, Bruce has channelled New York City’s unique take on American sportswear to create a capsule collection that reflects the very luxe, sporty feel of that iconic era.
The collection includes relaxed tailoring and soft separates in premium fabrics such as flannel, suede, buttery leathers and brushed alpaca wools in mainly muted tones but accented with vibrant purple and rich burgundy. As with all Oldfield pieces, the details transform basics such as this cream roll neck given turn-up cuffs into stand-out pieces:
Among our absolute faves from the 73 NYC Collection at John Lewis are this Drape Jersey Dress:
This must-have leather skirt:
We also especially love the very NYC layering aesthetic at work in these three pieces:
The Mainline Bruce by Bruce Oldfield collections takes inspiration from another iconic fashion era: the glittering 80’s.
Here, Bruce’s signature handwriting creates red-carpet radiance with a captivating combination of retro charm and modern elegance for the ultimate in affordable luxury.
Lavish fabrics, embellishment, form-fitting silhouettes and sublime detail make for statement party dressing at its most glamorous. Watch out for party-wear, Mainline will include the tuxedo dress and sumptuous velvet tailoring – coming soon!
