Finally, the perfect transition pieces from winter to spring are the urban safari  coats from Lee Mathews and Ginger & Smart. Shiny and hooded, these coats are chic over anything! For the sportswoman who needs an indoor look, the olive green Anna Thomas shirtdress is easy.

What this means to you is a selection of very sophisticated coats and dresses, able to be worn with the greatest of ease.  The Square Collar Dress begins with unexpected, supple tobacco-colored leather on the neck, falling into a crisp a-line silhouette.   The steel colored Bamboo Hooded Coat has a cool sheen and sculptural line, yet is soft to the touch.
  

Hailing from Melbourne, Martin launched his first line there before studying sculpture for four years, soon moving to Paris to open his atelier and only store.  Grant’s low profile and selective approach to press and distribution has garnered accolades from fashion insiders and clients like Cate Blanchett and Lee Radziwill.  Grant has clearly taken French wit and charm to heart.  The shocking pink Batwing Dress has the subtlety of a shirtdress, and is tied at the wait with a bow befitting a birthday present.  Oversized round buttons pepper the line.  “Martin Grant’s line is so well made.  The finishing is beautiful, down to the banded cuffs on a coat sleeve,” says Elizabeth Charles.
