Vogue dubs Jane Davidson favourites Erdem and Clements Ribeiro the very best of British!

We are delighted to see that those fabulous people at Vogue are as enchanted with British designers Erdem and Clements Ribeiro as us!

This month’s Vogue sees new boy on the block Erdem Moralioglu saluted as winner of The British Fashion Council/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund – an initiative set up to support Britain’s design talent – and that talented twosome Clements Ribeiro shortlisted … proving what we’ve been saying all this time, that these pick of the Brits are most definitely ones to watch!

So who is Erdem Moralioglu you might wonder? Well believe me, once you’ve heard his list of credentials, I guarantee you too will be blown away by this self-titled ‘aesthete’. A firm favourite of the red-carpet go-ers, Keira Knightley most recently dazzled in Erdem at the Laurence Olivier Awards in London, wearing – I can’t add quickly enough! – a stunning full length floral gown which will be part of the Jane Davidson collection! And its not just Hollywood that is feeling the Erdem effect, this multi-talent has managed to unite rival politician’s wives Sarah Brown and Samantha Cameron who have both been spotted sporting Erdem, as well as being a designer of choice for first lady Michelle Obama. And if that’s not enough, it is alleged that fashion editors wept when he showed his AW10 collection…could this perhaps be the man to melt Anna Wintour’s heart?!

Probably the most high profile British designer of the day… with a collection that is high fashion yet wearable and ageless… you can imagine we are counting down the days until we have our beautiful collection in store!

And lets not forget finalists Clements Ribeiro! Firm favourites of the girls at Jane Davidson, we are ecstatic to see this husband and wife designer double act getting the recognition they deserve from British Vogue. And in what better way than show casing the stunning boyfriend cardigan twin-set we’re getting in store this Autumn!

Founded at what Vogue calls the ‘height of Cool Britannia’, this dynamic duo are still proving that when it comes to fashion, Britannia really can rule them all!

One of our favourites - Diane von Furstenberg Milton dress in HELLO

Definately high on the 'wanted' list, our favourite DVF dress was featured in HELLO magazine this week.

We can't believe she's done it again, the Queen of the 'womanly' cut dresses has created this fantastic piece which ticks two of the the right trend boxes this season. Drape? Check. Nude? Check. The MILTON dress - or the goddess dress as we've named it - is a fantstic mix of womanly draping and on-trend nude which looks great here on Kelly Sugarman. We also love how she's adapted it for this season's event calendar by adding a nude pashmina to the mix.

Howeverm, it looks just as amazingly goddess-like (if that's a phrase!) seen on the catwalk with a blazer like the fab BLYNN blazer we've received from Diane. There are so many ways to wear this dress and it's great for all events you have planned this summer - wear with tan gladiators, with black or off-grey biker jacket to pull-off laid back chic or sky high heels for that sexy greek goddess look.

ALSO, if you've eaten too many chocolate bunnies for Easter (I know the JD girls have!) the draping is very flattering for covering those not-quite-ready-for-bikini physiques!

Thing's we're also loving this week are the new MET jeans in turquoise - great with basic white accessories and the new Bruuns Bazaar delivery we received in last week - amazingly simple basics which will last for seasons!!! So pop in or if you need that all essential revive for Summer make a personal shopping appointment by phone on 0131-225-3280.

Our evening wear given the Sunday Herald's seal of approval

So British summer time is eventually here (apparently!) and with it is bound to bring a whole host of 'dressy occassions'!

But if that thought sends you into wardrobe crisis- panic not, we have it covered. From gorgeous gowns to sexy shifts, you're bound to find an answer to all your problems with our amazing collection!


If it's a little black tie event leaving a little black hole in your wardrobe, you're sure to find the answer to all your wardrobe woes with one of our many glamourous evening dresses! Jenny Packham and Collette Dinnigan are just two of the designers we've all gone crazy for this season. Jenny Packham's art-deco silver silk beaded gown and Collette Dinnigan's one-shoulder pewter gown, in particular, are definitely on all of our most wanted lists. Or if you fancy taking a little walk on the wild side, why not pop in and try the stunning La Perla leopard print gown featured in the Sunday Herald?!

But it's not just the eveningwear that has us going ga-ga, we have a fantastic collection of beautiful dresses for one of the many events you may have coming up over the summer season. Armani and Red Valentino have some really elegant structured dresses in a selection of colours - perfect for summer weddings, particularly since most have the added bonus of having a matching jacket. But if structured's not your thing, then Libelula and Tracy Reese have some brilliant, bright printed, floaty offerings. And our favourite American designers haven't let the side down either - David Meister has some fantastic shift dresses - perfect for channelling your inner Jackie O, whilst Nicole Miller's rouched shifts are going down a storm! And let's not forget Diane Von Furstenberg's Goddess dress... need I say more?!

Whatever you have planned this summer... whether you're living la dolce vita on the Italian Riviera, sipping on Pimms with Andy, Roger, and the gang in SW19, or wowing the Windsors at Royal Ascot...we'll make sure you're dressed to impress!!

The Girls in Vogue

We are the one of only two stores in Scotland to be in Vogue's Britain's Best Boutique 2010.

Proving that the only place to be is Jane Davidson those lovely people at Vogue have honoured us by naming us one of the best boutiques in Britain's. We are so excited because along with that we are still in our 40th Birthday - double celebration. So 40 years on the customers of JD are still as stylish as day one!

So now we can say 'we were SEEN in Vogue'!!!

Love,

p.s. This definitely deserves celebration drinks on us tonight!

Nicole Miller - the 'IT' dress for this season!

Yesterday we received our fab Nicole Miller delivery - including great day, holiday or night out dresses!



We love this stripe off the shoulder number - dress it with tan accessories, gladiator sandals and a great big tan bag for summer chic - think French Riviera. It's very Sienna Miller so channel your inner boho girl for this dress!! In a great stretch cotton its comfortable for holidays but will still look stylish for travel so ditch your jeans and dress up!!




This great tunic is a different style for Nicole Miller but still great none the less - really relaxed style for this summer but with fab colour for winter - with boots and a trench.

We always get so excited when Nicole Miller arrives - the bright colours and flattering shapes work so well on a curvy or boyish figure - it is the dress everyone should have in their wardrobe. This season, being such a dressy season, has seen a great selection of dresses including the classic David Meister, quirky Clements Ribeiro and trend inspired DVF.


So a wedding this year and you're not sure of what to wear - pop in for a personal shopping session with one of our stylish girls (if we do say so ourselves!)

Clements Ribeiro, Halston, Red Valentino !!!

Its fair to say the Jane Davidson girls have had a fab week! Clements Ribeiro, Halston Heritage, Red Valentino - what more could we want?!

First off, Clements Ribeiro, the designer - with a thing for cats - has treated us to a fantastic collection. Favourites amongst the girls is the cashmere cardigan with vintage frogging detail - both in stripe and in plain black. We also love the fantastic pure silk kitty dress. Although, I think the cherry on top of the cake has to be the gorgeous Jack top with pearl and zip detail!

Definately the quirkiest brand of this season with its detailing but we love it - the cashmere is all produced in Scotland and it is one of the few husband and wife designer brands! The couple met at St Martins and have been making fab collections ever since!



Next up we got the fantastic Halston Heritage one-shoulder dress in. Amazing - with the iconic 'H' logo in gold on the shoulder- 3 fabrics, one style - sure to be a hit! Watch out for it in the Jane Davidson window and the much anticipated SATC 2 film!

And finally - Red Valentino. Last night our day was brightened up by a couple of pieces of Red Valentino including the 'couture t-shirts' - fantastic luxurious tee's with amazing bow details. As more pieces come in we'll post some photos on our blog - if you just can't wait pop in. They are definately worth a visit!

love,

The Girls
