Natalie was dressed in a brigh yellow dress from Cue, black leggings from Dotti, Zu yellow ‘Trample’ heels, teamed with an assortment of yellow and black bangles from Portmans.

PRINCESS PEACHES STARS IN DOTTI CAMPAIGN
Peaches Geldof glows in the latest Dotti advertising campaign and will also be making a super-fast trip to Sydney to promote it later in the month.

Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof. Born to rock'n'roll royalty Sir Bob Geldof and Paula Yates in March 1989. And in the eighteen years since the ethereally pretty Princess Peaches has managed to become a writer, broadcaster, socialite, London IT girl, DJ and be voted onto Tatler UK's 'Top 10 Fashion Icons' list...when has she had time to breathe you may wonder.

Now, to top it all off, she can add 'Face of Dotti' to her glamorous CV, starring in the just launched ‘So Peaches And Cream’ campaign.

The enticing Dotti ads can currently be found in a selection of fashion magazines and on the www.dotti.com.au website, along with details to her visit to Sydney later in the month. Alternatively go to your nearest Westfield  Dotti store to see the full size ads and the fabulous clothing.

The campaign was shot in Peaches hometown of London, at Chiswick House, by famed international fashion photographer Chris Dunlop. Peaches thoughts on Dotti? “I have really enjoyed working with Dotti. Their clothes are stylish, unique and affordable. It’s great to be able to take pieces from the Spring/Summer collection and team them with vintage and designer items that I have in my wardrobe. They achieve a modern day look whilst featuring influences of other fashion eras.”

It’s the first time that Dotti has associated itself with a celebrity, choosing Peaches because she stands out from the ‘sameness’ in Hollywood and oozes British cool and charisma. Dotti’s General Manager, Sarah Rovis, said of the decision, “Peaches is young, smart and a lover of fashion in every way! She puts together outfits with such confidence and handles herself with aplomb. We love her energy and her attitude.”

Peaches certainly makes the yummy Dotti outfits she is photographed in look even more delicious.
