Scallops and Pleats Please- Jaeger SS12 (London)

AAAHHH what a lovely, wearable collection from Jaeger. 
I love the simple shaping created for that "I've just taken 5 minutes to get ready but I look fabulous" ensembles.

Looking at details close up, the scallop detailing with dyed to match blanket stitching is divine.  It not only adds some cutout work, but also a different type of texture to the clothes.  I love the use of pleats (which I am very very happy are still showing strong signs at SS12 shows as I can't get enough of them!)  and also, the unexpected use of dtm self fabric covered buttons, placed neatly along armhole seam.  A great way to add some 3D detailing.
Another key detail that Jaeger introduced was the use of fabric bows, which featured at neckline (so to act as a bow tie- larger scale) and also down the side of the outer arm (smaller scale). LOVELY.
