We have to admit, sport is not really one of the things we're particularly good at, but Portuguese fashion label White Tent have piqued our interest with their Spring/Summer 09 collection; in terms of sporty dressing of course.
It's a fresh, lightweight series of pieces, executed in silky greys, sheeny blush shades, and sheer creams, punctuated with shots of blue and black. Although the overall collection seems minimal at first glance; the shapes are pretty directional and inventive on closer inspection, with extended shoulders, neat highwaisted miniskirts (cleverly treading the line between sexy and sweet) trousers with tailoring borrowed from the boys, twisted draping and some fantastic cutout details on dresses and tops. Mix up with architectural heels (try Jil Sander) or style like their catwalk show and go for flat lace up pumps. After last summers' plimsoll hysteria we bet you've got some lurking in that wardrobe...
