Betty Jackson's AW 09 collection has already been named her best in years, and it's easy to see why. The collection showed an eclectic mix of quintessentially English winter wares, cropped mohair jumpers, silk pyjamas and over sized shoulder skimming earrings. Pastel colours of duck egg blue, pale yellow and dusky pink were mixed with the classic combo of black and white. Prints were 80s inspired zebra and a whimsical almost woodland print.
Materials were luxurious brushed mohair, silk and even a little crushed velvet. Ruffles were the buzzword and so were, er, backpacks. These not so stylish items seem to be making a comeback, on Gucci's catwalks last year and now Betty Jackson is jumping on the bandwagon. There was nothing crazy about the clothes, however, oozing a wearable but chic vibe, no models struggling with boxes on their heads here! The show reaches its climax with cool-as-a-cucumber Jourdan Dunn strutting down the catwalk- and still managing to make MC Hammer trousers look cool. All hail queen Betty.
