If we had previously suggestedthat you might consider splurging on a ??160 dress or a ??250 coatfrom Next, you would likely have laughed and quickly corrected us.""Next is for affordable workwear and everyday basics,"" you wouldsay.And you might have beenright.But Next"s new in-house brand, Label/Mix, is about to change that.

Much like John Lewis delivered us Modern Rarityand Jigsaw has given us A by Jigsaw, Next has followed suit in the creation of a premium spin-offline.

Label/Mix, which launchesonline today, is a collaborative collection created under Creative Director Gemma Metheringham"shoned eye, in partnership with an evolving roster of designers - both established and emerging.The result is an edit of designer-infused,limited edition pieces, all of which are intended to be mixed and matched.

The initial collection wields 93 pieces, which have been created in collaborationwith ten designers.Korean-born, London-based designer Rejina Pyo is one of the headliners.

""It???s just really exciting to communicate with a wider audience,"" Pyo tells The Telegraph of her motive for collaborating with Label/Mix.""Rejina Pyo is not the most expensive high end range, but it???s more than the Label/Mix price range, and I thought it would be interesting to bring that aesthetic to the wider audience, who always wanted a piece of it.""

With a glance at the collection, it"s apparentto anyone who is familiar with the participating designers" own labels,that Metheringham has been extremely careful to allow eachindividual brand"s DNA to shine through, while also ensuring the collection sits together cohesively as a whole.No mean feat.

""We actually did it in the exact same way as we develop our own collections,"" confirms Catherine Teatum, one half of design duo Teatum Jones, who hasalso been enlisted by Label/Mix.""Every season we start the collection by discovering a human story which then becomes the muse of the season,and we did this in exactly the same way,"" she continues, describing how in this instance, the relationship between Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell, of the infamous Bloomsbury Set, was their source of inspiration.

Rejina Pyo"s burgundy voluminous-sleeveddress doesn"t look out of place next to Teatum Jones" geometric print midi skirt, nor does Pyo"s grey wrap coat with a nearly-neon orange belt look wrong next to Teatum Jones" ochre roll-neck with subtle cut-out eyelets on each shoulder.

The collection is modernbut very wearable, and comprises all the key pieces you would want in a curated wardrobe: loose-fitting denim that you can wear with a white shirt with a twist, a claret leather skirtthat will look equally as good with one of J.Won"s knits as it would with a lace shirt by Whole9Yards, and suede and velvet shoes that will actually take you from day to night.
