Top Brighton fashion designer Sarah Arnett unveils her autumn/winter collection
Award-winning Brighton designer Sarah Arnett has unveiled her new autumn/winter collection at her Brighton store, Simultane. Entitled Dancing Dresses, the collection evokes the true passion and seduction of the tango.
Luxurious silk dresses and separates are embellished with dramatic and intricate prints, creating a sensual and silky silhouette. Rich purples, reds and blues splashed with gold sit alongside blacks overlaid with swirling whites and gilt. The lustrous patterns, laid on silk jerseys, satins and chiffons are intricately cut to flatter at every angle.
Sarah’s collection now sells in over 70 stores worldwide including Harvey Nichols and Fenwick. The label recently won the UK Fashion Export Award for womenswear. Vogue recently commented that ‘dresses are in and Sarah Arnett’s are it’. And Christina Aguilera recently chose to exclusively wear one of Sarah’s dresses for her latest In Style cover shoot.

Simultane to change name
Due to the success of Sarah’s collection the name of Sarah’s store – Simultane – will change to Sarah Arnett in October. Managing director, Simon Beales commented: “Now that we are selling in so many stores under Sarah’s name, we thought it was a good time for us to change our Brighton store name. We now only sell our own clothes and so we want people to know that this is our flagship store and home to the complete collection. A label that Brighton can be proud of.”
