Summer 2012

Now Summer has finally arrived we have been introducing our new bright and hot palette to our collection of gorgeous top shapes.  Our collection features the pleat blouse, yoke blouse and collar blouse.  Created from tweaking some of our archive of vintage patterns from the 50's and 70's we have combined these with our favourite trends this season.

Tweaking Iris' Spring/Summer fabrics revealed!

We thought you would love to see what colours and textures we have gone for this season!  So here we have revealed some photos of our fabrics as our Spring/Summer collection gets under way.   Take a look at: www.tweakingiris.com to catch a glimpse of our Spring/Summer collection preview.


We are loving pastel shades; pale mint, sherbet lemon and ice grey.  The deep blue shade accents this pale palette beautifully!

  
We have brightened up our summer pallete with splashes of brights from turquoise and mint greens to tango orange.  These striking colours compliment the textures and details making this collection our most favourite yet!

We have chosen some gorgeous shimmery fabrics perfect for the summer sun.  Everyone loves a bit of sparkle.  Golden yellows and silver greys are a must for your summer look this season.

Our collection is also made up of unique cutwork and lace fabrics which look fabulous next to our summer palette.  Perfect for collars, details and finishings! 
To accompany the detailed lacework in this collection we have chosen floaty fabrics such as chiffons and silks giving a light and breezy summer vibe.

Light Azure model pics

We have been busy photographing our two lovely ladies Layla and Kalina in the studio this week ready for our launch on the Asos marketplace. The Light Azure collection combines a range of lightweight sheer fabrics in pale shades of whites, greys and blues. These fabrics give the collection a floaty feel, but the shapes and cuts of the garments add an edgy vibe.  Our fave is the kalina cropped tee. We just love the soft white lace fabric!

Indian Summer model pics

This week we have been photographing our models in our Indian Summer collection. The collection has a tailored and feminine look with clean cut shapes.  It has a strong focus on floral prints and the colour palette takes us from summer to autumn with its peaches, tangerines and green hues. Our favourite is the 'gemma blouse' which has been made from gorgeous fabric we found in India! We are loving the back panel which has featured a lot in our collections this summer.
