Caroline Charles to show at LFW

Caroline Charles, the eponymous designer from her namesake label from the 60s, is set to return to the catwalk for AW/06 after a ten-year absence. Charles is planning a catwalk show in February at the Royal Academy of Art. The label also returns to Selfridges in spring 06 with a concession stocking a selection from her three labels.

These include luxury suits from the London line and the younger, more casual Carline label. Selfridges will also carry her more expensive Studio range inspired by antique textiles. The spring 06 collections feature 1950s-style white cropped trousers, coloured jeans and polka dot silk sundresses. The designer has three stores in London, shops in Cheltenham and Tunbridge Wells, and concessions in the Manchester and London Harvey Nichols stores. Charles is probably best known for her elegant evening and occasionwear.
