Designer Overview

Nature also provides Sarah Louise with guidance in helping us provide the very best for those we love. Take the delicacy and subtle iridescence of a butterfly’s wing. A wonder to behold, this marvel of design lasts but a few short weeks and is gone.

In many aspects of our spring and summer collection we have mirrored such natural marvels but utilised our experience and skill to provide the garments with a longevity that contradicts their apparent delicacy. Part of the secret lies in sourcing the very finest fabrics from the best houses in Europe and beyond and doing more with them than might seem absolutely necessary. For example, you will find dresses that are self-lined, not because they have to be but because we believe it is the right thing to do.

Soft, floaty fabrics abound, particularly in the range of celebration wear which has been extended considerably this season. This enhancement will be found throughout the range where we now present accessories such as matching footwear and delicately beautiful hair clips. Fashion trends continue to be an influence but you will find reflections of a movement toward children’s clothes that are very obviously designed for children rather than simply mirroring adult styles.

Sunshine-bright shades pervade the collection alongside perfectly posed posies and botanical bouquets treated in some cases with a nod toward realism whilst, in others, a more impressionistic approach is in evidence. By way of contrast, single colour themes and even monochrome patterns create stunning designs whilst, throughout, you will discover our signature detail manifested in the most delicate hand embroidery highlighted with the soft lustre of tiny pearl decorations, the sparkle of crystal and mists of glitter.

The new season demands a freshness that suffuses a collection of silks and satins, touches of velvet, microscopic weaves, magical textures, sometimes enhanced with partial perforation, and soft woven fabrics all coordinated to bring you what we believe to be our finest seasonal range to date.
