New for autumn 2009 Mica Paris, well known soul singer and broadcasting star, has teamed up with Simply Be as their new celebrity fashion designer.  Her debut collection “All Woman” expresses her infatuation with fashion and passion for life.

In 2008 she published her first book ‘Beautiful Within’ which was inspired when she presented ‘What Not to Wear’ in a bid to inspire confidence and self esteem in women. Now with this new collection Mica hopes to be “able to help the women I hear talk about not being able to get a fashionable outfit in their size. Now I can tell them where to find it!” Mica’s attitude to life is ‘be passionate, be positive’ which is reflected in the collection.

Mica does not consider herself as a designer. She has put together a collection of clothes that she feels thinks will look good in sizes up to 32. Mica Paris has based her new collection on clothes that she herself would want to wear. Indeed, she told Simply Be that she would not be without the collection in her own wardrobe, saying “It’s so easy to wear and with my schedule being so hectic sometimes I need to get ready really quickly!” In order to put this versatile and stunning collection together, Simply Be met with Mica to see what she would want in her range and what type of clothes inspired her. Mica and the designers then got together to design and produce the range.

The new collection by Mica Paris consists of 15 inspiring items available in sizes 14 – 32. The collection will enhance your curves while the bold prints and bright colours exude confidence and sex appeal. The range is designed to include really a wearable collection combining wardrobe staples and statement pieces that can be mixed and matched.

The three dresses in the collection certainly have wow factor. The Mica Pom Pom Trim Dress is really stylish with pom pom trim on the neck. The dress is gathered at the sides to accentuate curves. This black dress would look really striking with a pair of heels. The Mica Cowl Black Dress again accentuates curves with its skirt and neck detail. This black dress is also very versatile as it can be worn as a classic scoop neck or turned around for a sexy drape front to completely change the look. The striking Mica Belted Drape Dress is available in blue or black. Both these dresses would look great with the Mica Lace Leggings.

The tops in the range are all designed to accentuate your figure and are in the autumnal colours of purple, black, and grey. The Mica Oversized Jersey Top in black, magenta or purple is simple and stylish with bat like sleeves and long in the body. The Mica V-neck Jumper in black or purple pointelle knit is very stylish as is the Mica Floaty Top with graphite hammered satin look and V neck collar detail. For a more casual look the Mica Zip Detail Top is perfect in black. The Mica Longline Cardigan with belt detail can be worn casually over a T shirt or for a smarter look worn over a white shirt/blouse. These and the other tops in the range would fantastic with the Mica Ruched Jeans. These cotton jeans are designed for style and comfort with satin seam detail and ruched leg around the ankle.

No autumn collection would be complete without a jacket and this collection does not disappoint. The Mica Military Jacket in black is very stylish with double breasted detail and it is fully lined. The Mica Sleeveless Jacket is a smart addition to any wardrobe in black or grey it is fully lined and would look very stylish worn with the Mica Body available in blue, grey or black.  The clothes in the Mica Paris Collection really do not disappoint. Mica says “I’ve learnt to totally trust my instincts – taking fashion and working it my way- I hope you love the collection.” Well Mica, I do! Log on to the Simply Be website to see for yourself.

Mica has also released her first original studio album in ten years entitled Born Again.
