Not looking hopeful from their Instagram, but is this anything to do with WIT's ICONs?

If I had very narrow feet & more money I might be tempted by the shoes but one of the model back-view pictures shows how narrow the shoes are - very unflattering on the model.
I assume the prices are so high because they are limited stock but you could buy some gorgeous fabric & get a completely unique silk dress for much less than the maxi dress price.
The striped trousers remind me a bit of an early boyfriend in the services who looked great in his dress uniform - generally referred to as busman's trousers because of the side stripe - but his trousers didin't have the messy hems - Boden's version looks as though they've altered the length in a hurry.

I like the jacket, but that embroidered military style strikes me as a bit last year already?

Kate M could have done with some of it in India, I think.

I thought that about the jacket too Cadburys, very much last season Zara. That aside, I do like a lot more of it than I did last season. I think the dresses are absolutely gorgeous and if I had a wedding to go to this year, I would seriously consider the one with a sash. Very pretty.

love the cricket jumper and the vivienne flowery trousers. Tuxedo shirt isn't bad.

The Caroline jumpsuit looks like you'd ruin it by wearing it outside as it drags along the pavement under your shoes.

The maxi dress is ridiculous. Yes, middle aged mums floating aroun in flimsy silk and no bra.

Boden would not be where I would go to drop that kind of money for one piece anyway I don't think...

I do like some of it, it is just beyond what I would pay for stuff from ""Boden" - they should have set up a totally new brand. I like the wilsford silk top but not sure i would pay that for it. I love the fabric of the jumpsuit.

I have very narrow feet. Which shoes are you talking about?

Most of the 'icons' are just very odd clothes at a premium cost. IMO.
