Behind Our Frida Kahlo Print
For our next instalment of Behind Our Print, we’re taking you by the hand and diving head first into a Mexican fiesta! We’re talking vivid colours, iconic prints and evocative storylines that command attention… Proving that history is still a part of our present, our new collection was inspired by Frida Kahlo’s home in Coyoacán. Encouraged by Kahlo’s unique lifestyle, our range conveys her animal-loving nature, self-portrait perfectionism and obsession with eclectic colours.

Style It Like The Queen
Throughout her lengthy reign, the Queen has provided us with countless outfits, endless pearl necklaces and a vast range of bright colours! From her matching coat and hat combination to her pristine white gloves, her sense of style has a special place in our hearts. And with her 93rd birthday fast approaching – her first birthday of the year might we add – we thought we’d honour her by presenting our favourite royal looks. Unfortunately, unlike the Queen, we can’t offer you two birthdays or a palace, but we can give you the chance to dress like her. Since Liz throws a garden party every year, we’ve dedicated our looks…
