Desk to Dusk
Throughout history, the relationship between fashion and femininity has been integral in demonstrating liberation and individuality. To celebrate International Women’s Day, we asked three of our directors what desk to dusk dressing means to them and the direct correlation between fashion and self-expression.

All-day crochet

Crochet is a distinctly feminine touch, and the beauty of our Callie Jumper is the subtle use of 70s-inspired crochet on the sleeves. What makes this ideal for office to evening dressing is the stripped-back simplicity of the jumper’s body, which allows the intricate sleeve detailing to make a statement and truly shine.
 
“I love the versatility of this jumper. From meetings to work socials, it covers all bases and can be easily dressed up or down: it’s a great all-rounder.”

- Shona Jameson, Chief Marketing Officer

Beautiful boucle

A fashion favourite season after season, the Coco Boucle Jacket oozes vintage charm while still holding its own among more modern apparel. Its timeless texture goes just as well with jeans and a tee as it does with neutral tailoring, adding a touch of luxe to any outfit.
 
“Fashion has always been a way for me to express myself, and I love a piece that works well, wherever the day takes me.”
