If I could, then I’d have included all the pieces out of this emerging designer’s collection. Forget the welcoming burst of colour... each ensemble of hers is so exquisitely crafted that it not only infuses femininity in every cut, but also highlights at least one quality of the many facets that make up a woman’s body.

Because of what I’ve heard and because of my somewhat conservative (okay, boring) sense of style, I was expecting to loathe the complexity of this man’s work. Oh, how deluded was I! Take this outfit for example... who wouldn’t feel sassy and sexy and snug while wearing it?!

EB+AM by Cindy Leigh Armstrong
I love the combination: a somewhat casual maxi skirt teamed with a formal silk halter neck vest... picnic in the park, anyone?

I hate the gumboots. But I kind of fancy this old-school ‘granny’ look. Do you?

A cinched waist, gorgeous, full skirt, puff sleeves and a traditional buttoned collar help to accentuate the illusion of the ‘perfect’ womanly hourglass frame. Stunning!

I don’t think I’m brave enough to wear it, but I remember seeing this black dress and thinking “Wow, that’s BOSS!”

The message behind this new ‘catered for curvy’ womenswear label is definitely not one of idleness. The mother-son design duo showcased a range of practical yet sophisticated pieces which were most flattering as it skimmed the outline of the body with the use of clever colour blocking.

Even her maternity range flatters and compliments the female frame.

I want, I want! Sisters Caren and Gina Walderman’s design style can be summed up as comfortable and chic, with the use of soft fabrics and trendy detailing.
