I don't do colour. This is an exception with shoulders. An emerald satin blazer with pleated fans at the shoulders and a pointed peplum, over a black leather bandeau top and bronze satin wide-leg trousers. The fans do the talking. I prefer that. Wear it to a premiere. Hair flat.

A fitted emerald satin blazer with pleated fans rising from the shoulders and a pointed peplum, over a black leather bandeau top and bronze wide-leg trousers.

A fitted blazer in emerald duchess satin with two pleated fans built into the shoulders, rising past the ears like folded paper. The body is nipped at the waist and closes on a single hook, then flares into a layered peplum that drops to a point at the front. Under it, a black leather bandeau top with a straight neckline. Below, bronze satin wide-leg trousers, high-waisted with a pressed crease, in a colour that reads copper in direct sun.

This is an event piece: a launch, a gala, a shoot in a concrete courtyard at noon. The shoulders are the whole conversation, so hair stays down and flat, jewellery stops at small hoops, and the trousers are long enough to hide the shoe. Warm months, or a cold one with a car waiting.

The shoulders enter first. The rest arrives a moment later.
