A W 1 4 - Behind the Scenes

Last weekend we were at Brook Cottage (Christina’s beautiful house in Bath) shooting the new AW14 lookbook. On a rare sunny day in the West Country, the two models; Minnie and Tessa were cocooned in an array of cashmere, knits and woolly hats. Taking reprieve in the shade of the big oak trees, we attempted to capture the snug cozyness and misty-breath coolness of a sharp winter’s day.  

Capturing Winter on a warm Summer's day: Long wool coats and Summer linens. 


Walter the dog followed us around, and made for a good nap companion when the sun became too much…

Assistant Designer and Stylist, Violet.
Talented photographer, Katy Lawrence, worked tirelessly under the beating sun to capture her vision of a romantic winter’s day. Katy shoots all her photos on film, using natural light. 

Multi-use Apron: Katy keeps all her film rolls in the front pocket of her Apron.


Working hard



The AW14 collection is a mix of androgynous workwear pieces, oversized knits and feminine dresses.
