The Juliette Hogan Winter 2013 collection ‘Don’t Look Back’ celebrates a girl looking to the future, and not making any excuses for her past. She’s a bit of a traveler, but this is no ‘road trip’… it’s a first class train carriage not the back of a bus, it’s matching leather luggage not a backpack. It’s finishing schools abroad, summer houses and weekends in the country.
The palette for the season looks outdoors for some autumnal inspiration. There’s easy neutrals of black, navy, beige, grey marle and white with confident injections of colour in the form of morange, teal and quirky print combinations.
Signature prints for the season include a dainty geometric print on silk crepe de chine, and the ‘Botanic Silk’ mixing strong bold shadows with painterly washed out colour peeking from behind. The ‘Autumn Floral’ is offered on both a navy and a slightly ‘off’ walnut while the decadent ‘Tapestry Silk’ features vibrantly coloured cross-stitch embroidery on a black base.

Silhouettes are strong and sleek. Key pieces include the minimalist ‘Dudley Jacket’ in punchy morange, the quilted ‘Willock Jacket’ in the seasons hero prints, and of course, some full length drama in the form of the simple, elegant and stunning Alera Dress. Contrasting fabrics and shapes present a distinct luxe undercurrent - beautifully draping silk peplum dresses, ultra fine merino knits, cashmere, indulgent sequined fabric in simple shapes, classic trenches, rich woolen trousers and soft lace.
Our girl looks worldly and well put together working garments with ease and sophistication. You’re interested in where she’s been, but more importantly where she’s going. You want to go too.
