    Top designer, Roksanda Ilincic has worked her magic on a collection of darkly beautiful dresses for Whistles and Marie Claire has a sneak preview!

    Just in time for spring, the internationally acclaimed designer has created a series of ten dresses that will be available to buy in Whistles from March 25. 

    From 4pm until midnight today you'll be able to see a video of the collection, preview all the dresses and reserve your favourite via a pop-up window on Whistles' website.

    However, in a Cinderella-style move, the footage will be removed at midnight and will no longer be available until the official launch of the new collection takes place at the Whistles store in St Christophers

    Place on the 25th March.

    Just for you we've got a sneak preview of the footage that was shot to accompany the launch.

    SEE CATWALK PICS OF ROKSANDA'S LATEST COLLECTION!

    On watching the video you'll no doubt be stunned by the collaboration. It's simply gorgeous - Roksanda's designs take their names from poisonous British wildflowers, adding a sinister edge to the gorgeous collection.

    There are five structured pieces, all sporting full moon-shaped discs. 'Delphinium' is a blouson style dress in a soft beige colour, offset with deep hues of blue and gunmetal grey circles, while 'Bittersweet' is a navy one-shouldered creation with an outsize grosgrain ribbon strap.

     As well as the structured pieces there are also five soft, silk dresses that capture the ethereal atmosphere of hazy summer days. Colours range from sour apple and buttery yellow to palest sky blue. Soft drapes and waterfall layers capture a sense of movement and fluidity. 'The collection was inspired with the feelings that summer brings in all of us: fun, happiness and lightness!' explained Ilincic.

    'I wanted to project all those feelings into the clothes: ‘Celandine' is in the colour of the summer sun, whilst ‘Milkweed' is colour of the clear sky.'

    If you want to get your hands on a stunning summer dress then be sure to visit Whistles website from 4pm today when you'll be able to watch the film and reserve your favourite!
