Elena Fantini, founder and designer of the utterly fabulous Save the Queen label, is passionate about keeping alive the traditional skills passed down through generations of Italian craftsmen and the range often includes stunning pieces of hand embroidery by artisans from Tuscany and Abruzzi.
The beauty of the range is that it marries quirky individuality, superb design and true Italian style and, as with all Save the Queen pieces, you'll find yourself treasuring them for years! Elena has done it once again this season, producing a range of dresses, tunics, coats and knitwear that are quite simply stunning!
The colours for autumn/ winter 2011 encompass so many beautiful pallettes - from the ethereal lilacs, blues and purples found in a chiffon and jersey tunic dress to dramatic blacks and greens seen in a super fitted sheath dress. Knitwear comes into its own this season with super cosy long cardigans - all with trademark individuality - a multicoloured revere here, a cobweb mohair sleeve there...
Coats this year include a fantastic grey jacket with an embroidered back, fur collar and a lining that will have you deliberately draping it inside out over your chair!
Always exciting, always original and totally beautiful, Save the Queen almost defies description - why not come into Spirit and see why this label has such an avid following!
