Spring Summer - 2024
"This is a cool-wearing, softly hued collection with an immediately tropical feel.
Anchoring base colours of ivory and navy set off lilting, sun-warmed accents of Grenadian orange, tobacco, soft pink, aqua, and stone.
Tailoring is cut fully and a touch louchely for easy-wearing comfort, with double-breasted jackets featuring wider lapels, and trousers tweaked by pleats aplenty."
Our Spring/Summer ’24 collection slinks back to ‘70s Mustique, the covert Caribbean island famously favoured by less-reserved Royals, aristos of a boho bent, socially acceptable songsters and the moneyed beau-monde.
Under the adept aegis of the elegant and ebullient (and at times a trifle testy) Lord Glenconner - who cannily procured the then parched place in the late ‘50s - Mustique became a high-society haven, a lush, laid-back invitation-only idyll where discretion was de rigueur and show-offs were shunned.
This is a cool-wearing, softly hued collection with an immediately tropical feel.
Anchoring base colours of ivory and navy set off lilting, sun-warmed accents of Grenadian orange, tobacco, soft pink, aqua, and stone.
Tailoring is cut fully and a touch louchely for easy-wearing comfort, with double-breasted jackets featuring wider lapels, and trousers tweaked by pleats aplenty. Dry-to-touch summer fresco wool, lightly slubbed linen and wool, and silk, linen and wool basketweave impart a breezy airiness throughout.
Casualwear is equally free and easy, and features laid-back linen knit polos and the lightest cotton blousons.
Shirts, camp-collared and otherwise, are enlivened by a selection of stripes, oversized and subtle, and crisp cotton batiste weaves add another layer of lightness.
Floral and abstract palm prints give another point of focus, and invoke the balmy bounty of Caribbean island life.
