Perfect for the mother-of-the-bride who wants to make a statement, the new designs mix the modern with traditional.

Metallics permeate throughout the collection and are used in a variety of manners, from detailed fine embellishments through to being subtly interwoven through fabrics to give a luxurious tone to the outfit.

The John Charles design team has also experimented using a host of geometric laces alongside classic florals.

It’s not just the fabrics that have been given a revival though and autumn 2016 will also see the introduction of a new silhouette, a contemporary statement pleated skirt. A brand new three piece, which combines a knee length dress with a modern lace top and a coordinated jacket has also made its entrance into the collection.
