In Conversation | Caitlin Crisp, Season 10

Congratulations on Season 10 - its so colourful, what were you thinking of when you put this collection together?

Thank you! When we were working on this collection, we had a few girls trips lined up so I was very much influenced by that. Fruity cocktails, shows and shopping :) all things colourful and girly.

What are your favourite pieces and why? Where and how will you be wearing them?

I love the Freddie pant and Charlie blazer - I have already had so much wear out of this suit. The fabric is amazing, It looks just as good before a 3 hour flight as it does when you arrive. It can be worn with sneakers or sparkly stilettos.. what more could you want!?

Talk us through the fabrics - why have you chosen what you have for which pieces?

All of the fabrics are very feminine and fun - sparkles, silk and soft suiting. I wanted the overall feeling to be effortless glam.

sparkles, silk and soft suiting = effortless glam...

Do you put a collection together based on looks and if so, which looks do you love?

Yes absolutely, I wouldn't put anything into production if I couldnt style it in a full look. I love the tailoring and that you can mix and match with the shorts and pants.

We can't get enough of the Martini and Cosmo pieces, how will you be styling these?

Rib tops are our bread and butter and we're loving these new additions to the CC basics. The cosmo tank can be worn front to back and back to front giving you two tops in one. With the Martini tee, I love the boob-tube under a blazer look, this tee gives you that look but also the support and coverage of shoulder and arm coverage when the blazer comes off.. win-win!

Tailoring is always a key part of your collections, why is this category important to you?

My first construction tutor was a phenomenal tailor, I learnt from the best. Nothing makes you feel more put together than a crisp blazer.
