The winter collection introduced a new selection of outerwear with casual jackets and tailored overcoats using a colour pallet of mainly earthy rich tones and subtle textures.

Richard James Mayfair brings a well-edited collection of full tailored suits through to separates such as simple printed shirts and ties. Prices for a full suit start at £395 and shirts start at £65 each.

One to watch

Caitlin Charles-Jones explored her love for art and design at the London College of Fashion, and went on to complete her BA specialising in knitwear.

Handmade in the UK using the finest yarns from UK suppliers, her collection is inspired by landscapes and their translation into graphs, maps and plans. The garments are made using Merino wool and crepe cotton, combined with lace sourced from French lacemaker, Sophie Hallette. This season, Caitlin has worked with local craftswomen to produce unique, handmade crochet flowers.

The Charles-Jones brand places emphasis on luxurious simplicity, using innovative construction techniques, highest quality materials and distinctive colour placement, whilst maintaining a strong sense of real, wearable garments.

Caitlin’s design philosophy is for clean, bold and wearable silhouettes, alongside innovative techniques, unusual material combinations and intricate embellishment. With numerous awards to her name, Caitlin was tipped as one of Vogue Talents’ ‘Ones to Watch’.
