For its latest season, Dorothy Perkins presents two distinct looks via its DP Collection capsule series. The British label first celebrates aquatic-inspired designs through its Atlantis range before encouraging wearers to get into a Boudoir mood with lingerie-like apparel.

Dive into the season with this new high summer range, which features an aquatic-inspired capsule collection.

Noteworthy elements are blurred water prints on statement maxi dresses and silver and pearlised mermaid- like embellishment, showcased on fluid sleeveless tunics and vests.

In addition, denim features strongly within the collection and includes white wash denim in a super skinny zip detail jean and a pleat sleeved cropped denim jacket.

Meanwhile, draped waterfall detailed jersey pieces can be teamed with denim shorts for pure summer chic.

To keep the look fresh and light, highlights of dusty mint, grey, aqua and sea blues are used against a predominantly white colour palette.

The intricate embroidery, embellishment and luxury fabrics reinforce DP Collection's premium design details and offer wearers the chance of building a wardrobe of unique, must-keep pieces.

Boudoir

True to its name, Boudoir is a lingerie-inspired collection combining delicate laces, intricate embroidery and feminine bow details with unstructured tailoring.

The soft sherbet tones of the mint and nude work well with the strong base palette of black, ivory and charcoal grey.

Hints of antique embellishment and the use of premium fabrications such as silks and soft unstructured twills give a luxurious depth to the range.

Easy to wear fashion pieces such as the scalloped edge bib front top and the rouched sleeve tailcoat jacket tie everything together to create an inspirational capsule collection. – WILLIAM K.C. KEE
