Surely this is a nice (Per Una) coat?

Light the blue (appropriate) touch paper and retire.

oh yes, I like that!

Not overly keen on the colour but the style is nice. Would have to see it the flesh to be completely convinced, it's a lot better than their usual horrors though!

I like it.

And amazingly the website images/video haven't killed it stone dead.

Nope

Colour is a bit divisive but it's a nice coat.

Dye it black and it'd be an easy to wear winner. (Why did they not do it in black????)

Really?
I think not.
That colour is vile and flatters no one either apart from Thatcher in about 1981.
For quite a long time I thought that 'speziale' was an epithet devised by an incisive MNer and not actually the name of the line.

Love the colour and the coat

The coat is fine. If you're into that kind of thing. Which I'm not.

Horrible colour though. Royal blue always looks wrong and cheap somehow?

I quite like the colour but it's a bit too zippy IMO.

And you can whip it of to reveal this.

Do you always button/zip up your coat? Because with being asymmetric, it might look a bit odd unfastened.

Havant - that dress is er er er ...nope ...I have no words!

The zips are hideous. They make it look really cheap.

I know! The top half of it looks like something I'd expect to see on a former low rent madam, now retired, in her 70s and living in a caravan park in Eastbourne.

Actually I'm being unfair. That would be more the bottom half worn with a sparkly spaghetti strap top. The top half is more swinging in Reigate.

I've never 'swung' in Reigate. I've never actually been there, nor swung, but that sounds like a perfect description.

I like the coat and the colour is my colour actually!

Like the style. Don't like the colour. I have a Per Una parka (shhhh) and it always gets complimented.

I don't like the colour, but it's not the worst thing they've ever come up with. Why do they always have to add random weird details (like the zips in this case)

I always want to find the designer and slap their hand as their pencil reaches out to add some more twiddly-widdly nonsense to what might have been a reasonably OK garment.

Hmmm that leather dress really is..... well - "speziale"! :o

They are getting more like kaleidoscope circa 2000 which channeled Germany on drugs circa 1995. Which channeled UK on drugs circa 1985. And not good.

I like the leather dress, better slightly longer and more pencil
pair of specs and a clipboard/gun = movie Balkan killer/scientist a gogo

they've styled this as ward round chic

The colour is lovely - HOC-ers, is it an Autumn or a Winter blue? It looks quite warm to me but could be my monitor.

I am bemused by the hate for the colour!
