The Fashion Edit
I prefer an individual, timeless style to following the fickle trends of fashion, and so I love to seek out independent brands that often embrace traditional techniques. It also feels important in this age of global concern to support smaller brands, closer to home.
To save you time and bother, see below some of my favourite brands and what’s more, by using the individual code (featured below each brand), you can receive a discount on every piece.

LexyLondon produces the most gorgeous dresses and skirts made from vibrantly coloured fabrics sourced in Jaipur. Ellen the founder, then works with her tailor in Delhi to produce stylish and flattering cuts for each piece.

It’s such a treat to wear velvet in the day; this Lexy London skirt is just as fabulous for day as evening, and all her pieces work the same way.
Alex Gore Brown Knitwear

Based in England, she shapes unique pieces by hand on a range of industrial knitting machines, continually creating new structures with new techniques and new combinations of yarn.

“I have a passion for all knitwear and Alex Gore Browne is one of my favourite brands, with the coolest, quirkiest details. I adore the ruffles, bows and scalloped edges and wear them with jeans or out to dinner in the evenings.”
Britt Sisseck
Britt Sisseck has established herself at the pinnacle of women's high-end shirts and blouses since the label's launch in 2014. Born from an admiration for materials and precision involved in men's shirting, Britt Sisseck proposes a wardrobe where opposites confidently converse in a fresh balance: precious and pragmatic, fluid and structured, masculine and feminine. Timelessly relevant, the label embodies an enchanting and sensual nonchalance, where permanent collection pieces are joined by seasonal styles.
