I do like to be beside the seaside.
I used to spend hours sketching on Shoreham beach, Sussex, spending summers at the family beach hut. Hence the conscious decision to hark back to a simple hand painted motif of a small sailboat and a more fluid ‘shoal’ print.
We developed a quintessentially English summer seaside colour palette; navy, oatmeal, white and sky blue but needed to throw a little European ‘apricot’ and ‘putty’ to set the more subtle tones apart.
Styles this season are simple, flattering and as always can be dressed up or down. We follow direct requests and listen to feedback every season, so dresses feature capped sleeves, long and short versions and comfortable jersey or elastic fitted trims – allowing you to accessorise or style a look in your own way.
The photo shoot (gamble!) paid off and it was a stunning 30 degrees on Shoreham Beach. Mottled pebbles, beach huts, rusty paint and freezing sea all formed part of the atmosphere and very felt in keeping with the core ethos behind the brand and this collection.
