We're thrilled to present you our new Spring-Summer 26 collection, aptly titled 'A Riot Of Light'. It's a vibrant, playful, and unapologetically feminine line-up that reimagines our perennial silhouettes with a fresh infusion of colour, texture, and fluidity. Drawing from the ethereal dance of light, the collection traces an arc from soft, muted pastels to explosive pops of fuchsia, aqua, and beyond. At its core, 'A Riot Of Light' celebrates fabric as the ultimate storyteller, with sumptuous silks and resilient linens taking centre stage to create pieces that feel as luxurious as they look.
Fabric is indeed the heart of this collection, where each material is chosen for its ability to capture and reflect light in unique ways. Silk georgette flows with gossamer lightness, ideal for dresses that sway with every step, while silk organza adds a subtle translucence to jackets and coats. Silk satin brings a glossy, opulent finish to statement pieces such as our Carnaby coats, while silk douppion offers a textured, slubbed elegance that's both tactile and timeless. Not to be outshone, crease-resist linen provides breathable, understated sophistication, and always practical for warm-weather events. These fabrics blend heritage craftsmanship (the vast majority of our womenswear is made right here in London) with contemporary wearability, ensuring every garment moves with the wearer, catching the light in a celebration of shimmer and shadow.
The palette mirrors this luminous theme, starting with gentle whispers of ivory, pale blue, and blush pink before erupting into bolder hues such as magenta, fuchsia, orange, and cornflower blue. It's a spectrum that evokes the progression of daylight, from dawn's soft glow to midday's vivid blaze. Intricate floral details and embroidery patterns add a playful, romantic layer. Standout among the coats is the Carnaby Coat, a versatile icon reinterpreted in multiple fabrics and shades. The Blue Valence Silk Satin version gleams with icy blue depth, perfect for layering over a simple dress for an evening soiree, while the Ivory Buckingham Linen offers crease-resistant sophistication for daytime affairs.
Equally captivating is the Westminster Coat in Pale Blue Cow Parsley Crease Resist Linen, where delicate floral motifs dance across the fabric, blending subtlety with statement-making flair. For those seeking drama, the Kimono Coat in Pink Syon Sequin Georgette sparkles with sequined embellishments, transforming any outfit into a showstopper.
Jackets in the collection embrace femininity with playful cuts and details. The Swing Jacket, available in long-sleeve iterations like the Red Spey Linen or Pistachio Hastings Linen, flares gently for a flattering, movement-friendly silhouette. The Cassie Jacket in Ivory Pink Leighton Silk Organza layers sheer elegance over dresses and silk slip tops, adding a touch of whimsy to formal looks. Meanwhile, the reversible Balham Jacket in Navy Multi Brampton Cotton proves versatility is key, flipping from patterned to plain for endless styling options.
Dresses steal the spotlight with their effortless grace. We challenge you not to twirl at weddings in our longer Serena Dress in Magenta Plain Silk Georgette, while the Oxford Dress Coat with Full Sleeve in Light Pink Danson Cotton combines coat-like structure with dress fluidity, offering easy versatility. The Marie Dress in Silver or Cactus Green Silk Douppion exudes quiet luxury, its textured weave catching light beautifully, and the Louise Dress in Multi Coloured Beeston Silk Satin bursts with a leopard print for those who walk on the wild side.
Whether you're gracing the enclosures at Royal Ascot or toasting at a summer wedding, these garments empower with their blend of playfulness and poise. We have masterfully woven light into fabric, creating a collection that's as radiant as the women who wear it.
