Sophisticated style for autumn
This AW10 Planet presents a collection of sophisticated fashion for the modern professional woman in sizes 6 – 20. From essential workwear pieces to flattering day wear and special occasion tailoring, the AW10 collection comprises a stunning range of capsules for the new season.
Planet carries the wearer from bold autumnal hues, through seasonal favourites chartreuse, dusky pink and grey tones, to cobalt blue, jade, cardinal red and plum, with graphic floral and animal prints as well as luxe fabrics and stunning embellishment to lead the collection to new style heights.
Upholding the brand’s strong reputation for tailoring with a nod to the catwalks and an eye on what fits and flatters best, Planet has created the ‘Planet perfect pieces’ series. This includes an office-staple range of perfectly tailored trousers, skirts, suit jackets and underpieces. With on-trend pleating and origami folds adorning clean-cut tailoring, workwear is stylish yet practical, and an exposed zip or asymmetric gathering on a satin top is office-appropriate without compromising on fashionability.
As well as perfect pieces for the 9 – 5 working day, find stylish high-fashion pieces to take the wearer beyond. Standout prints, key to Planet’s handwriting, are easy to wear but endlessly flattering. Add a splash of colour in a jade and cobalt animal print dress, or make a statement in the beautiful dusky pink ‘City in Bloom’ print in one of three shapes: the sequinned maxi dress, silk shift dress or ¾ sleeved tunic. With embellishment and appliqué emerging as a key AW10 trend, give a nod to the look with a few well-placed studs or make a statement in a stunning silk studded shift dress perfect for the desk-to-dinner transition. Leather and luxe fabrics were prominent on the catwalks too, and Planet’s jersey-panelled leather dress and pencil skirt offer a hint of edgy glamour that is as chic in the office as it is in a cocktail bar.
Planet’s autumn/winter essential knitwear is of the highest quality with on-trend colour blocking, ribbing and shoulder detailing as well as seasonal shapes such as boyfriend and waterfall cardigans. Transitional layering with draped knits and jersey pieces will carry the wearer from the warmer autumn days into the snowy climes of January with ease, and, new to Planet, black jeggings pair brilliantly with an oversize knit or tunic.
Accessories are made in the highest-quality materials to stand alone or coordinate perfectly with outfits in the range. The AW10 line of luxury Italian-made leather totes and handbags is Planet’s most comprehensive offering of bags to date, and includes a black tote with an exposed exterior zip, a supple gunmetal grey shopper and a maroon quilted weekend bag. Also made in Italy is a line of exquisite leather belts and jewellery including weighty chains, shards of semi-precious gems and matching bracelets. Elegant gloves, fedora and trilby hats, fascinators, scarves, chunky-knit snoods and clutch purses complete a stunning line of accessories, all created for the modern professional woman who knows that the finishing touch can be the most important.
This season also sees a strong offering of coats and rainwear including a camel one-buttoned fit and flare coat, a military-inspired double-breasted pea coat, a hot pink mac, a standout black ruffle front woollen coat and a cardinal red belted funnel-neck jacket. As well as the winter favourite colours of black and camel, find hot pink, chartreuse, red, white and navy blue revamping the winter overpiece. Prices start from £149 for a black quilted jacket and run to £699 for the epitome of luxury, a suede shearling coat in slate grey or black.
Finally, as December approaches along with the busiest time in the social calendar, Planet steps up with sophisticated glamour. A beautiful black floor-length bias-cut evening gown will look stunning at a Christmas ball, and a black velvet asymmetric-shouldered sculptural dress or all-over sequinned purple shift dress will be short and chic for New Years’ celebrations. Mix luxe fabrics and textures such as catwalk favourite velvet and a sequinned cover-up or faux fur bolero for an on-trend edge at a stylish party or special occasion.
Whatever the weather, wearer, occasion or style, Planet has the season covered. Available in stores and concessions nationwide and online at: planet.co.uk
