Whistles, London

Whistles has great clothing for femmes fatales on a casual day, Ms Lewin's clothes look beautiful, have some practical design considerations and hang well, marvelously well! Started in order to fill the niche between high street and designer clothes, Whistles has a relatively small devoted crowd, who are equally delighted by the inclusion of other up and coming designers in the shops stock. Expect to find well-cut suits with snazzy tops to match, figure-hugging skirts, and lots of glitter and beads on the evening wear. If you find the prices a bit on the designer side, pop down to high-street store Dorothy Perkins, where Whistles designs a small collection in less expensive fabrics.
