This eclectic collection combines sculpted Kimono cut dresses, sexy St.Tropez silhouettes and delicate English Tea frocks with an overall Spanish flamenco feel. Models sashayed round the minimalist garden square of London's Hemple Hotel, whilst a lone singer provided spirtual vocals - both setting the perfect scene for Maria's exotic 'Garden Party'. Flowing wide leg trousers, ruffle-edged wraps, shimmery sequinned catsuits and hotpants mixed with slinky fine knits and revealingly cut lace camisoles, provided the main pieces of this beautiful collection. The colour palette is subtle but strong with turquoise, apple, china blue and koi pink.
