London Fashion Week SS 2016....Orla Kiely SS 2016 Presentation

A few images from the very pretty and very fun Orla Kiely SS 2016 collection, London, September 2015. 

My lovely friend Verity Pemberton and her sister Amelia invited me to the Orla Kiely presentation in September last year. I didn't intend on taking any photographs (popped my camera in my bag "just in case"!) but it was so lovely I couldn't resist taking a few frames. Today feels very spring-like - just right for some pastel colours - so I thought it would be nice to share these photos from the presentation.
