I was looking for outstanding and truly creative new talents. Her Autumn/Winter 09 Collection designed with colleague Nicola Sherlock was wonderful. Made from Penine wool, alpaca and mohair these dresses are in rich jewel colors, soft, sensual and wonderfully feminine. Roses, ruching with filmy sleeves; all unexpected and highly creative as far as knitwear. Mini Dresses with full skirts and an off the shoulder neck line was another winning ensemble worn by Beate. They are fun, elegant, and importantly wearable. This is a name to remember, check out the full collection at http://www.makepiece.co.uk. Well done!
