If we have a favourite from Debbie Bliss’ Dior collection (ssssh we shouldn’t have favourites really), it would be this - the delectable Delphine, a stunning jacket that echoes all of the femininity and luxury of Christian Dior’s original New Look collection, launched in 1947. Delphine is sumptuously shaped into the waist with a peplum and a neat shawl collar, and knit in Debbie Bliss Fine Donegal together with a strand of Debbie Bliss Angel, bringing a delicious blend of tweed neps and silk mohair
