Dreamy Woods - Autumn 2021
Take a walk with me into the Dreamy Woods, where leaves fall silently to the forest floor and the first evening stars can be glimpsed through the canopy. This collection was inspired by the tones and textures of Autumn in the forest as furry friends ready themselves for Winter. I experimented with tactile fabric combinations such as supple leather topped with fluffy shearling and deepest green moleskin patchworked with cosy tartan tweed, to create a striking balance of luxury with wholesome earthiness. I looked to recognise the changing seasonal light and slightly otherworldly feeling of the forest.
