We are all excited at the Complexd HQ because tonight is the 4th annual Vogue Fashion Night Out in London and around the world. Celebrated in 18 different countries, it’s a night for both consumers and retailers to make a big effort in the celebration of fashion and all things voguish.
Last year I sashayed through the streets of London surrounded by the bold, beautiful and fashionably delirious. This year I plan to join in with the intimate celebrations at Orla Kiely flagship store to witness the launch of the AW12 party range.
I spotted this dazzling top at Orla Kiely’s presentation at London Fashion Week in February. In the style of an afternoon tea dance, the collection was presented on models and dancers, not far-off from scenes in James Clavell film ‘To Sir With Love’, where the designer got her inspiration for this collection.

With a gold textured fabric at the front and sheer silk organza adorned with a tiny dragonfly print at the back, I can’t wait to style this stand out piece with something simple.
Along with drinks, canapés and live music, the wishes of three lucky shoppers will also come true. Whatever they wish for, they are guaranteed a modern/retro piece that effortlessly finds its place between the elegance of the 50s-60s and architectural structure of today’s fashion.
