We have been pining for a little light relief, to put the dark days of the past year behind us and to turn our faces skywards and feel the first light on a winter’s morning. And as we emerge, let’s begin with joy. And what could be more joyful than a cascade of sequins or a riot of ruffles. Party clothes that fizz and sparkle with personality, but that heal inside and make us feel alive and free. It is going to be a dazzling, light-filled holiday season – what will you wish for?
