This British designer, a favorite of the Duchess of Cambridge, is testing her boundaries with the Jenny Packham Resort 2015 collection. Inspired by the Ang Lee-directed 2007 thriller, 'Lust, Caution,' which is set in China in the late thirties and early forties, many of the pieces are more sensual then usual. Some of them are even, strangely enough, more modern. The designer comments, "I was inspired by the idea of presenting a collection of eveningwear that fused traditional Far Eastern style with Western fashions."
Yet overall, the Jenny Packham Resort 2015 collection is still incredibly pretty and vintage-like. It doesn't hurt that the image of Kate Middleton is hard to shake since the model is a look-a-like.
