Saatchi Gallery will display Magenta 8's new autumn/winter collection. The collection is British tailored jackets, structured capes, cropped military jackets, biker jackets and bell-sleeved boleros are luxury design house, Magenta 8's signature, and are in an abundance for the new season.

Inspired by post-war prosperity, focusing on women's natural confidence and inner beauty, the subtle splendour of butterflies is intertwined throughout, featuring in all of the jacket's silk linings, symbolizing change. Each piece is named after a butterfly that inhabits the British Isles.

Key pieces include a bell sleeve black jacket with ivory panelling, a camel and ivory colour-blocked fitted capelet and a black bolero with an oversized sculpted collar, trimmed in a thick border of ivory alpaca.

Made from luxurious baby alpaca, and even more coveted royal alpaca and boucle alpaca, Magenta 8 pieces are the finishing touch to a look. They provide the extra texture, the additional layer to inject uncompromised style, complementing cropped trousers, pencils skirts, a flowing dress and even a pair of jeans. Magenta 8 lifts the basic items in an existing wardrobe.

Magenta 8 is a luxury fashion house, designing timeless garments for independent women.

Founded in 2006 by Giovanna Velasquez, Magenta 8 collections are heavily influenced by her Peruvian roots. A passionate designer, who knows what the modern woman wants to wear, her instinctive creativity and tireless attention to detail ensure each individual garment is as unique as the woman who wears it.
