Christmas ’08 Collection

Christmas has never been more colorful with Warehouse’s Christmas ’08 collection. Featuring a wide variety of styles and colors there is something for everyone in this collection.

In a rich jewel toned palette of teals and greens the Charleston brings the decadent 1920s look for Christmas. Dresses are sexy and super glamorous with petal ruffles, empire lines, maxi, maxi lengths and pretty bow ties. Ruffles, frills and 3D embellishment create a romantic and feminine story embodied in the Ophelis. Pearlized sequins, chiffon, tulle and organza give a watery and other worldly feel. A starlet 50s quality, ice cool glamour as personified by Grace Kelly, is reflected in full skirts and ethereal touched. Colors are soft and delicate with grey continuing as key trend with deepest black appliqué embellishment onto sheer fabrics contrast with the muted palette.

Burnished metallics, pewter and old gold invoke the spirit of medieval warriors. Aptly named the Armoury this collection features metal studwork, chainmail, paneling and sequins convey a harder edge glamour. Sumptuous jacquards, glazed effects and panelled silk satin add a feminine warrior princess attitude. Décor party wear looks are updated in a new palette combination of purple and ruby red. The key look is for show stopping party dresses, from floor skimming ruched halter satin maxis to mini pleat of ruffle proms and sexy one shoulder bustier cocktail dresses.

Maximize impact with multi ruffle effects, clusters of corsages and dramatic pleating and volume. Statement color silks and satins in jewel box brights. The Jewel collection pieces are sculptural with a 60s edge, Jackie O and Barbarella combined. Big bows, baby dolls and chunky beading on cute prom and shifts add a youthful edge to this flagship look.

A romantic, eclectic story where east meets west with a Napoleonic regal opulence in the Empire Collection. Draped empire line dresses, white tulle ballet skirt and neo classical embellishment, are worn with jewel encrusted Indian head dresses and necklaces. Think Raj princess in a winter wonderland. Gloss continues with its collection for parties, nights on the town or just when you want to shine.
