Inspired by the Irish Poet, Oscar Wilde, his vision of ‘a form of genius’ lies in the heart of the design. The collection is all about modern day British aestheticism,  celebrating craftsmanship and design with beauty and form being the reason behind the creation of each style.

Every piece in this collection is meant to give the everyday woman a sense of femininity – in the most effortless way possible.

Embracing the Movement’s focus on beauty and art, the silhouettes are not restrictive and focuses on soft and fluid lines that embodies mid-19th century aestheticism’s defining quote: “Art for Art’s Sake”.

This collection raises the importance of a work’s aesthetic values over social, political or economic themes. This is especially relevant with the recent economic landscapes that are giving designers more headlines (and chaos) to reflect in their designs.

The capsule collection toys with oversized tailored trousers, loose asymmetrical dresses and knitwear that plays with expected proportion so that it can be easily dressed up or down – for the everyday woman.

Minimum effort, maximum results – we love it.

This collection is now available on NET-A-PORTER
