Fabien Baron on his creative direction; “The A/W collection is inspired by the 1980's with strong colours, cool silhouettes, and amazing dresses. The menswear is especially strong this season, with a good balance between fashion and masculinity. The collection and campaign needs to show irreverence and style whilst defining the brands own distinct personality; it made perfect sense to cast Tom Guinness and the Richards sisters, as that is what they stand for. Given the spirit and the strength of the clothes we came up with a simple, graphic concept, a modern 80's set using large oversized letters for the models to interact with, playing with different textures adding neon lights to give it that 80's panache!”
Theodora and Alexandra Richards were brought up amongst the originators of the rock 'n roll glitterati, exposed from a young age to legendary fashion leaders and inspirational music makers has provided them with the freedom and confidence to express their own, unique style.
