I watched several shows before they actually showed an item I liked. I've never been a fan of huge floral prints and pale colours - they tend to "drown" me, but I could see the quality of the jackets and thought "imagine if they did do something you liked, wow" so I waited. IM uses a variety of textures and even materials in the same jacket which makes a larger pattern less dizzying and suddenly very wearable.

I always find it really incredible that it is so hard to find velvet in common use in England - especially in the autumn/winter. Velvet is fabulously soft and opulent and red velvet, well I'm just drawn to it and my red indigo moon red velvet jacket bought a few years ago still gets comments all the time. Velvet is cotton so a natural fabric and is just so comfy, a very English fabric in that it's been popular for hundreds of years. Where can you find it in the shops though? It's an impossible mission. If you do find velvet, often it is only that staticy fake velvet (velour?) which if you rub it the wrong way - yiikes.

Velvet is much under-used in the fashion industry, so well done IM for bringing us velvet items to choose from.

Please though, could IM bring out a long skirt in plain velvet? I'm after a red velvet skirt especially! I'd really like something special to wear with my jackets.

I often pick a colour out of a jacket and co-ordinate it in my Bare Escentuals eye make-up!

Once you've found the Indigo Moon design for you, you won't look back.
