We recently discovered hot new Irish label Kate and Ava when looking for some glamorous occasion wear. The design duo consists of Kate Reilly and Ava Cassidy who design with a feminine, elegant touch using rich, luxuriant fabrics including wools, silks and jerseys.
Pictured here are our favourite pieces from Kate and Ava’s Autumn Winter 09 collection; a bow collar top and gold paisley skirt, a nude coloured layered skirt, and a purple paper bag waistband dress. The a/w collection is built around cocktail dresses in a rich palette of colours – purples, blacks and a touch of gold.
Other pieces include a cream cashmere knee length coat, smart belted wool jacket and tailored pencil skirts.
The above pictured nude coloured layered skirt is this week’s fab prize from our Giftbag. It retails at €199 and is available in sizes 10-12.
To enter to win, email giftbag@whatshewears.ie with “Kate and Ava” in the subject line by Wednesday 18 November. You must be subscribed to our free weekly newsletter to enter. Sign up to it here.
