No-one does stripes quite like Petit Bateau and their Autumn/Winter 2012 collection is a masterclass in how to make the most of the classic Breton fabric.

There’s a big of a Coco Chanel sportswear vibe going on with the 1920s-style jersey twinsets and the square-heeled pumps and jewel-tones in the knitwear definitely feel a bit flapperish. Modelled by a Jean Shrimpton-esque redhead with some kinda David Bailey-inspired poses, there’s a bit of a sixties feel to the lookbook too.

Stripes on stripes on stripes, what could be better?
