Background: THE LONDON FASHION HOUSE OF MATTLI YESTERDAY REVEALED THEIR SPRING COLLECTION. SUITS AND ENSEMBLES SHOWED A PREDOMINANCE OF CHECKS, GAY COLOURS, AND COTTONS.

FABRICS WERE SMOOTH AND DRY, AND COTTON WAS VERY MUCH IN EVIDENCE, WITH LACY WEAVE, TAPESTRY WEAVE, COLOURFUL AND UNCREASING. ALSO IN EVIDENCE WERE CHECKS, SELF-COLOURED OR CONTRASTING, AND VERTICAL STRIPES, REMINISCENT OF ENGLISH SCHOOL BLAZERS.

COLOURS WERE VARIED, RANGING FROM PURE WHITE THROUGH NAVY OR BLACK AND WHITE, FONDANT PINKS, PISTACHIO AND APRICOT, AND ALL THE COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW.

SUITS HAVE LONGER JACKETS, MORE PRONOUNCED COLLARS, ARE BELTED AND MORE FITTED. COATS HAVE A LONG, NARROW LOOK ON TOP, GENTLY FLARING ON THE HEM.
