FOOD NEWS: RIOT OF COLOUR

 

  

 

This week sees the launch of our brand new food range – more than 20 years after we first unveiled our iconic black and white selection.

 

In stark contrast to the much-copied monochrome collection, the Riot of Colour range is packaged in striking bold coloured boxes and marks a new generation in fashionable food. With more than 80 products available, the sweet and savoury choices have been created to make you feel at your best without compromising on taste – the ingredients and inventive flavour combinations have been developed with wellbeing in mind.

 

  

 

The range includes sweet and savoury products, ideal for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack time. Choose from eight new teas, three oils, great-tasting cereals, rice cakes, reduced sugar jams and marmalades, seed and nut mixes, and biscuits.

Delicious highlights include Beauty Tea, made with Hibiscus, rose petals, Chinese white tea, rosehip and lemongrass; Rhubarb, Orange and Ginger with Star Anise Preserve; Paprika and Chilli Grissini; Dark Chocolate with Beetroot; and Honey and Bee Pollen Oat Biscuits.

 

The new Harvey Nichols food range is available now with prices starting from £1.95. The classic black and white selection will still be available.

 

  

 

 

 



AUTUMN IN BLOOM: ERDEM A/W COLLECTION 

One of this season’s most striking collections comes courtesy of Erdem. For A/W13, Erdem Moralioglu’s eponymous label beautifully blends elegance and femininity with couture-level craftsmanship.

A London Fashion Week favourite, his signature floral prints are still very much in evidence with wearable ladylike shift and tulip-shaped dresses, but A/W13 sees a darker palette with navy and black at the fore. Stand out pieces include crepe and wool blend floral tops, and a selection of silk and organza layered dresses.

 

You can shop the new collection in our First Floor Womenswear department now.
