Yasmin Le Bon (44) has long been famed for her wonderful and unique sense of style. So the fact that the former top model has now designed her own collection for high street store Wallis can only be great news. Her new line, YLB for Wallis, is packed with super sophisticated clothes and jewellery, as glamorous as they are comfortable.
- Because few women are as incredibly stylish as Yasmin Le Bon, who never seems to get it wrong, whether she wears designers or vintage, and most certainly doesn’t need a personal stylist to get dressed. Like a more sophisticated Kate Moss, she brings from her experience as one of the original “supermodels” an ability to perfectly mix trendy and classical.
- Because she understands what suits her and what women want, and that being comfortable in what one wears is the most important step to being truly stylish. The emphasis is on well cut clothes tailored for “real” women in stretchy fabrics, with a long silhouette and wardrobe staples such as sexy pencil skirts, flattering skinny trousers, glamorous maxi dresses, trendy velvet tuxedos and beautiful silk blouses.
- Because, contrary to some other celebrity lines, one can sense that Simon Le Bon’s wife was really involved in every stage of the project, resulting with the creation of a wardrobe that really reflects both her sophisticated personal style and a particular attention to detail: as she explains, “I can’t just put my name to something to me that’s completely meaningless, if I’m going to do something I’m going to be involved all the way”.
- Because the collection, which comprises 20 styles in various colour options, combines great quality with affordable prices, ranging from £15 to £150. We particularly love: the grey jersey maxi dress (£65), the black leather biker jean (£90), the ink velvet tuxedo jacket (£90) and matching wide leg trouser (£70), the fur green caplet (£90) and the turquoise mesh bracelet (£35).
Yasmin’s collection ‘YLB for Wallis’ is available to buy exclusively at ylb4wallis.com from the 12 September 2009 and in its top stores from the 15 September 2009.
