The final day of LFW meant meetings and a show in the daytime followed by a dinner for a Brazilian designer at Annabel’s in the evening. This dress by brilliant British design duo Teatum Jones transitioned perfectly.
A recent studio visit to catch-up with co-founder Rob was fascinating: their circularity means not one tiny scrap of fabric goes to waste. Instead, he showed me patchwork in process, created from even 2cm square offcuts. It is then embroidered to make new. None of their fabrics are wasted. They push for change among suppliers too, and share useful contacts and insight in the network of sustainable London designers (they have a WhatsApp group!). This red and pink dress (my favourite colour combination) is made from archive dead stock fabric. It is pleated and made in the UK, with the fabric flock printing process carried out here too, under strict regulations. I played upon the colour tones with this beaded Shrimps bag rented from Hurr.
The same bag was evening-ready, I just added a heel and put my hair up…
Farewell London, next to Milan and the Green Carpet Fashion Awards!
