Blog
Today, London is bustling, vibrant city with a buzzing nightlife and even if we step back in time we can see that this aspect of our great city has not changed! We have teamed up with The Museum of London London Nights photography exhibition exploring the glittering club scene to late night commuters. We were totally inspired to create a lookbook featuring our Spring and Summer collection that would have complimented the swinging 50’s era in the UK.Trixie doll dress , Dolores top plain , Winifred fishtail skirt Amelia clutch , Glamour diamante jewellery set , Hallie pearl heart clutch , Pearl necklace with diamante bow Night out in the 50’s inspired look using fit and flare shape , off-the-shoulder cuts combined with a glamorous fishtail to create the elegance found in the 1950’s . The choice of the grey scale photography compliments London Nights fusion of historical, conceptual and contemporary imagery. A little black dress is a timeless, chic beauty that is always relevant – no matter what century! We have teamed our gals in pearls and classic diamonds with appropriate clutch bags to compliment the overall look.

They’re both perfect with a petticoat for that added, extra extravagance! Our Nina comes complete with floral and lace details that compliment the sheer fabric – she’s definitely a show stopper!
