Orla Kiely Autumn / Winter 2011 Collection

Irish designer, Orla Kiely, has took a turn at dark & sophisticated in her latest A/W collection. Still holding on to her youthful, playful esthetic, her current collection does seem to have grown up a bit this season.

In this collection you'll see a big introduction of darker, more seasoned colors like black, olive, charcoal gray, and variations of rust. There is also an addition of  refined pieces like high waisted pegged slacks,  sharp tailored trousers, and wide legged pants. (Because a girl can't live on dresses alone which I have recently been learning).

But of course the collection wouldn't be complete without Orla Kiely's smart tailored coats, elegant knit dresses, and alluring patterns that have put Orla Kiely's talent and creativity on the map! Overall this collection shows us that growing up may not be all that bad!
