What is your design inspiration this season?

Clean simple lines with a seventies influence in some areas. Longer belted coats, pussy bow ties in palest silks – perfect for layering. Beautiful sharp shifts, shorter coats in gorgeous bright colours too.

What is your signature style?

I keep things pretty simple. Core wardrobe essentials which I can easily interchange and accessorise ; jeans, trousers (crop, peg and flared) and I always have a beautiful coat.

 

What are your top three pieces from the current collection?

 

The Allegra jacket is the perfect trans-seasonal cover-up. In versatile grey, the super soft cardigan can be paired with either tailored trousers or jeans.

The Amy sweater is the perfect addition to your capsule wardrobe. It looks great with both denim for an off-duty look, or tailored trousers for a more formal look.

The Anoushka knit coat is perfect to throw on over anything. I really love the geometric intarsia pattern and its retro feel. It’s a tailored approach to knitwear which creates such a strong silhouette which makes it so flattering.
