Brand of the Month - IRO Paris
Love Paris? How about New York? Now what if we told you you could find the spirit of both incredible cities in one place? You can, and that place is called IRO. The new season collection of IRO clothing has landed at Stanwells, and we’ve fallen head over heels. So much so that we simply had to name this lovely label as our next Brand of the Month.
Get to Know IRO
IRO Paris is a French label created by brothers and former music producers, Laurent and Arik Bitton. By combining bold New York style with high-end, French sartorial sophistication, the Bitton brothers have managed to pack their collections with vibrant personality and fresh ideas, all inspired by their love of architecture, music and design.
Made especially for the experimental women of the world, IRO clothing rapidly rose to fame across the world with its head-turning reinventions of traditional shapes. Now a firm fashion favourite with women from Europe and America to Canada, Korea and Australia – not to mention the team here at Stanwells – IRO Paris has well and truly earned its place as our Brand of the Month.
As always, we have picked out a few of our absolute favourite styles to show you, so you can dress up your wardrobe with the freshest of spring styles. Here they are, in no particular order:
The Nanopo Jacket
There’s something wonderfully retro about this dazzling jacket, don’t you think? Retro, yet somehow so very current. The IRO Nanopo Jacket is crafted from crisp white denim, a classic fashion staple for spring and summer, but the stars of the show are of course those stunning sparkle sequin sleeves. They transform this timeless jackets style into something entirely new, creating a piece that can be worn during sunny spring days and cool summer evenings. Layer it over your favourite summer dress and sparkly accessories for a casual, party-ready look that’s guaranteed to get people talking.
The Berwyn Silk Top
Spring just isn’t spring without a cami top, and this one has shot straight onto our favourites list for the new season. The IRO Berwyn silk top is everything you need from a new season essential; it’s light, floaty, elegant and versatile. Wear it under a jacket with white jeans for a casual summer daytime style, or pair it up with suit pants and heels for an elegant evening look that wouldn’t look out of place at any time of the year. The Berwyn top is made with 100% silk, so you’re getting pure luxury from the straps down to the hem, and that elegant tulle net trim adds an extra layer of chic Parisian style to this already stunning camisole top.
The Ashville Biker Jacket
We’re particularly fond of jackets this season, so we couldn’t resist showing you this one as well. Spring is prime motorcycle season so the biker jacket style is hot right now, and the IRO Ashville biker jacket is a stunning example of how great this look can be. The pale pastel blue colour is perfect for springtime, giving a lighter and more easygoing feel to the traditionally dark biker aesthetic, while the rest of the design holds true to the classic look. You can layer it over cami tops and denim during the day or wear it with your favourite dresses to create elegant summer evening styles. However you style it, the Ashville is a guaranteed breath of spring air for your wardrobe.
And our SS18 fashion collection doesn’t stop there. You can view our full IRO clothing range here, and there’s plenty of stunning women’s designer footwear, women’s boutique clothing and accessories from a whole host of exciting designer brands to discover online and in store.
Brand of the Month: Belstaff
Welcome to biker-style paradise. The Belstaff SS18 collection has landed at Stanwells and it’s brought with it a fabulous slice of this historic brand’s rich and adventurous sporting heritage. Those of you who are familiar with Belstaff will know just how amazing it feels to wear one of their leather jackets.
For those of you who aren’t, allow us to explain:
Leather jackets from Belstaff have become synonymous with the world famous Isle of Man TT motorcycle racing event. The rugged, gruelling race was tough on the racers’ clothing, so something waterproof and just as tough was needed to withstand the strain. Meanwhile, the brains behind Belstaff had been perfecting their waterproof materials and clothing for years, with their products being sent to the frontlines of WW1.
It wasn’t long before the motorcycle racers caught on, adopting the high quality leather jackets of Belstaff (known as Bellstaff until the 1930’s) for their big races. Motorcycling champion, Joseph ‘Joe’ Wright even became a Belstaff ambassador, cementing its image as the producer of clothing that is both rugged and cool.
Belstaff went on to supply its iconic range of men’s and women’s Belstaff jackets to everyone from aviators and army personnel to world-famous A-list Hollywood celebrities and actors. And now we are proud to welcome a select range of fabulous Belstaff quilted jackets, leather jackets and footwear to see in the new season with edgy biker style.
As always with our brand of the month we have selected a few of our favourite styles from the collection to show you today. So here they are, the very best of Belstaff:
Belstaff Culmore Jacket
For those early spring days when a slight winter’s chill is still clinging on, it can be hard to find a coat that provides just the right amount of warmth. Belstaff to the rescue! The Culmore quilted jacket is super lightweight, making it perfect for transitioning from season to season without the need for lots of layers. The adorable pastel pink shade is also bang on trend for SS18, where pastels are dominating the catwalks, so that’s another big win for the wardrobe. Easy to match up with practically any casual outfit, this gorgeous spring jacket works especially well with light-wash jeans and sport luxe trainers.
Belstaff Marvingt Leather Jacket
Heading into classic biker jacket territory now, the Marvingt is one of the most iconic women’s Belstaff jackets and a true bestseller. And let’s face it, it’s easy to see why. This work of sartorial art is crafted from the finest, buttery soft leather and comes complete with side zip pockets, padded elbows and expandable cuffs, all wrapped up in that traditional biker-chic cut. Perfect for cool spring days and weekend style, the Belstaff Marvingt works perfectly layered over a bright white T-shirt, skinny jeans and biker boots; you just can’t beat the classic looks.
Belstaff Clonmore Canvas Jacket
And now for something quite different. The Belstaff Clonmore canvas jacket is a true breath of fresh air for both the biker-chic look and spring coats overall. Where do we even begin? That crisp, light canvas, the flattering waist belt, the lightweight summery feel; the whole thing is just fabulous. The shortened trench coat style makes this jacket ideal for spring days and summer evenings, and looks beautiful when paired with casual jeans, a lightweight sweater and a colourful printed scarf.
Belstaff Acklington Leather Boots
We couldn’t end this post without drawing your attention to these beauties. The Belstaff Ackington leather boots are the perfect final touch to any biker-inspired outfit, bringing a modern, sophisticated twist to this classic style. We especially love that oversized statement buckle and the red trim, guaranteed to turn heads and start the compliments flowing. You can pair these modern biker beauties with everything from your favourite skinny jeans to casual day dresses for the edgiest of looks.
These pieces may be our favourites, but we can’t deny we love every single thing in the collection! View the entire Belstaff SS18 collection here, or take a look at our complete range of women’s jackets for yet more spring summer style from the most exciting designer brands.
Brand of the Month - Laura Orchant
Print-lovers, this one’s for you. Laura Orchant has landed at Stanwells with the most beautiful prints you will ever see, and we’re so excited to show you the new season collection.
Laura Orchant is the queen of print design, famous for her collections of stunning luxury designer scarves that she designs by hand. Made using only the finest silks and super soft modal blends, Laura Orchant women’s printed scarves are unrivalled in their beauty and quality, and her new SS18 collection is steeped in both.
Believe it or not, Laura’s thriving business actually began before she even left college. Together with her friend and business partner, Rebecca Lewis, Laura had drawn up a business plan for her scarf design venture during her final year studying fashion design at Ravensbourne College in London; an incredibly impressive feat, we think you’ll agree.
Drawing her inspirations from the natural world around her, Laura begins by drawing her intricate designs by hand, before scanning and digitally manipulating them. Since launching her business, Laura has gone on to design some very special scarves, including a range for the Rolling Stones, and will soon be releasing a collection for Take That.
Want to see something pretty? Here are our favourite picks from the new collection of Laura Orchant accessories here at Stanwells:
The Athena’s Garden Scarf in Green Modal Blend
Vivid greens and blues dazzle the eyes in this stunning scarf themed around Athena’s Garden. As the Goddess of Wisdom and the creator of the olive tree, this is how Laura Orchant imagines Athena’s Garden would look, with vibrant green leaves and vivid florals.
Aside from the peacock-pretty colour scheme, this beautiful rectangular scarf is made with a super soft modal blend fabric, making it feel wonderful against the skin.
Perfect for tying at the neck during the last few chilly evenings of spring and just as beautiful when used as a light shoulder wrap over the summer months, the Athena’s Garden scarf is one of our absolute favourites in this collection.
The Dizzy Daisy Print Silk Scarf in Yellow
Remember those seemingly endless summer days sitting in parks making daisy chains as children? Those sunny memories are all wrapped up in this gorgeous Dizzy Daisy silk scarf. Perfect for the new spring/summer season, this scarf is made from 100% pure silk, giving it a truly luxurious, lightweight feel. This is one of Laura Orchant’s many classic square scarf designs, easy to drape around the neck and add a burst of garden-inspired colour to any new season outfit.
Butterfly Kiss Print Scarf in Pink Modal Blend
This truly is summer in a scarf. The vibrant pinks, greens, blues and golden yellows of the Butterfly Kiss print scarf conjure up images of bright summer gardens, where the butterflies dance across the flowers on sunny afternoons. The soft, lightweight modal fabric blend is ideal for both the spring and summer months, and looks especially fabulous when contrasted with white or black outfits. Whether tied at the neck or draped over the shoulders, this stunning scarf is bound to attract admiring attention every time you wear it.
We picked out these three beautiful scarves with great difficulty, as the entire Laura Orchant accessories collection is simply to die for. Laura’s creations are truly the height of luxury designer scarves; you won’t find designs like this from any other label.
If you want to know more about this incredibly talented designer (and why wouldn’t you?) then watch this space. We’re running a special Q&A with the lovely lady herself very soon, where she’ll be telling us all about how she creates these wonderfully unique printed scarves.
Until then, enjoy the collection!
Brand of the Month: Perseverance London
The moment we laid eyes on the latest collection from Perseverance London we began a lace love affair that we know will last forever.
Kicking off its debut collection in SS16, this budding boutique brand is already making a name for itself in the industry, turning heads left, right and centre. Its creator, Eudald Luis, envisioned a clothing line with a tough, modern attitude, and ultimately created a brand that reimagines what it means to be feminine.
One look at any collection of clothing by Perseverance London will tell you that it’s all about the lace. Absolutely every single piece from our new collection of women’s Perseverance London dresses, blouses and skirts combines exquisite, intricate lacework with luxury fabrics and victorian-inspired styling, creating a unique aesthetic already adored by women across the world.
As you can tell, we’ve fallen head over heels for this entire collection, but we’ve somehow managed to narrow it down to four favourite pieces to show you today.
Perfect for updating your weekend wardrobe in time for New Year, this irresistible lace body in burgundy is a total gem. With that delicate paisley lace bodice, ruffled cuffs and soft neckline it’s impossible not to fall in love with this unique piece. The design is brought together with luxurious velvet neck ties, lifting the burgundy colour still further and adding an extra level of detailing. Match it up with a pair of black wide leg pants for an effortless smart casual look, perfect for evenings out and sophisticated parties. Tempted?
If you’re a sucker for a good print (like we are) then this skirt was made for you. The Perseverance London mix print paisley skirt has not one, but two beautiful prints, layered in alternating bands to create this elegant, ruffled design. Combined with the brand’s signature, intricate lacework, this layered skirt creates a floaty yet dramatic look; perfect for an evening outfit. Pair it with long boots and the Perseverance London lace body in black to complete the look. Find it in your size here.
It’s rare to find a piece of clothing that you can take from the office right through to a classy evening out without breaking stride. Yet here it is; say hello to the Perseverance London lace blouse, with its contrasting black pussy bow. This blouse is pure elegance incarnate, with that crisp, white lace ruffle detailing around the shoulders, body and cuffs giving movement and flow to the design. Wear it tucked into black wide leg pants for a powerful office look, or with a long, black skirt for incredible evening elegance.
We love every single one of the women’s Perseverance London dresses in our collection, but we just had to show you this one in particular. The floral applique pleated dress is a real thing of beauty, with those elegant pleated kimono sleeves and wonderful pleated skirt, which flatters the figure and creates graceful movement. But the real star of the show here is that stunning floral applique design across the body. The intricate design blends into the beautiful petrol blue colour, but stands out just enough to create a unique, shimmering effect. Match up with your favourite high heels for an instant party-ready look that’s guaranteed to turn heads. It’s waiting for you here.
If, like us, you’re utterly sold on this stunning brand, you can view our entire Perseverance London collection and pick your own lacy favourites for the season.
Brand of the Month: Parajumpers
We love a brand with a story and this one is truly fascinating. It began with a chance meeting between Parajumpers’ creator, Massimo Rossetti, and a serving member of the 210th Rescue Squadron in an Alaskan bar. Aside from sounding like the opening scene of a great movie, this is also where Rossetti found his inspiration for the Parajumpers clothing line.
The brave souls serving in the 210th Rescue Squadron are trained and highly experienced in the most dangerous, extreme rescues and recoveries in the world’s wildest environments. Known as the Parajumpers, or the PJs for short, they scale cliffs, traverse rough oceans and battle extreme weather to reach and rescue people in danger, saving hundreds of lives every year. It follows then, that they need clothing that can both protect them from the elements and withstand the rigorous tests these wild environments pose.
Enter Parajumpers, Massimo Rossetti’s inspired clothing line. Though they are primarily created for us everyday folk, every item of outerwear made by Parajumpers is crafted with the 210th Rescue Squadron’s activities in mind. Famous for its highly fashionable and functional parkas, Parajumpers clothing is crafted with precision and many technical components, making them extremely hardwearing and perfect for withstanding extreme low temperatures and bad weather.
Here are just a handful of our absolute favourite Parajumpers parkas and coats that have recently landed in our winter collection:
Juliet Quilted Jacket
If you’re not into the traditional long design of the parka, this jacket is the perfect solution. The Juliet quilted jacket is one of Parajumpers’ most popular designs, and we can see why. We love the fitted style and lightweight feel, which makes this jacket perfect for autumn, spring and even the milder winter days. The hood and elasticated cuffs provide extra protection from the cold, wind and rain, and the padded, quilted design is bang on trend this season, so this is a top choice if you’re in the market for a new coat. It’s waiting for you right here.
Kodiak Parka
Be bold this winter with this incredible deep red Kodiak parka, the bestselling Parajumpers parka design. If it’s cosy warmth you’re after then this is the coat for you, as the Kodiak comes with a super cosy detachable real fur lining and hood. And when you add the water and wind resistant nylon Oxford coating into the mix, you end up with the ultimate winter coat, perfect for exploring the wilderness in all weathers. And who wouldn’t love that stunning colour?
Angie Down Coat
If you love Parajumpers parkas but you’re looking for something a little more understated, this sleek grey Angie coat has your name all over it. It’s slim fitting so it will certainly tick the figure-flattering style box, while that gorgeous detachable fur-lined hood adds lots of glamour as well as practical protection from the cold. Like the Kodiak, the Angie coat is also waterproof, and is lined with insulating down for wonderful warmth in even the coldest temperatures. The muted deep grey shade makes this coat easy to wear with practically any outfit, and the classic parka design will keep you looking bang on trend all season long.
We feel sure that you now share our crush on this amazing brand, not only for its fascinating back story but for its ‘I need that now’ designs. You can view our full range of women’s parajumpers coats and parkas here.
Brand of the Month: Moose Knuckles
It’s brand of the month time! This month, as we head deeper into autumn towards winter, we’ve chosen Canadian brand, Moose Knuckles, and you’re about to see why.
All you movers and shakers and disruptors out there, Moose Knuckles is designed especially for you. That’s according to the brand’s creative director, Steph Hoff – and we concur.
Yes, Moose Knuckles Canada is the exciting premium outerwear label that everyone wants to wear this season, and as we’ve been spending the day getting up close and cosy with the latest collection, we can certainly see the attraction.
What we love so much about this brand, apart from its amazing products, is its infectious personality. It’s certainly not a shy one, with its name, logo and even its advertising campaigns loaded with giggle-worthy innuendo. Since Moose Knuckles was launched in Toronto in 2007, it has set itself apart from other outerwear brands and made a name for itself as the irresistible luxury label that nobody really needs, but that everybody really really wants.
With the weather rapidly cooling off, what could be better than a cosy, expertly tailored coat designed to keep you toasty warm? Once you zip them up you’re in fur-trimmed heaven, and no other coat will do. We love every single coat this brand makes, but here are our absolute favourite Moose Knuckles parkas and coats from the latest collection.
Discover that fur-trimmed heaven we were just talking about with the Debbie bomber jacket from Moose Knuckles. The jacket comes in other colours including a cool granite grey, but this vivid red is hands down our favourite shade. We love the way the red contrasts with the jet black, super soft fur trim on the detachable hood, and the bouncy fur pom pom pull cords. The waist and cuffs are elasticated to seal out the chilly air and provide the perfect snug fit, while the main waterproof coat is embellished with quality metal hardware, including the iconic Moose Knuckles logo on the sleeve. Pair up with your favourite skinny jeans and sturdy winter boots to create a luxury outdoor look perfect for any weather this season can throw at you.
Everyone loves a classic parka, but this one is rather special. The Stirling is Moose Knuckles’ best selling parka, and it’s obvious why. Once again, this coat comes in other colours including olive, navy and grey, but we fell in love with this bright white version as soon as we saw it. The striking monochrome design with the same fur-lined hood and pom pom pull cords of the Debbie design, creates a classic winter look that’s just as practical as it is pretty. Their 80/20 down filling makes the Moose Knuckles parkas able to withstand the most extreme cold weather, so you can feel sure that this coat will see you through the winter no matter what. Slip this coat on over any outfit, daytime or evening, and just wait for the compliments to pour in.
Looking for the perfect autumn coat? This is the one. The Rosedale quilted bomber jacket gives you all the warmth you need for the autumn months in a much more lightweight design. We love the way the stretchy Flex Core fabric, ribbed elasticated sides and cuffs keep the coat fitted perfectly to your body shape, creating a casual, tailored look. The classic bomber style works perfectly with jeans and ankle boots, with the black colour ensuring it will harmonise with any colour scheme. The Rosedale is the ultimate ‘day out’ coat, and is just as much at home on a mountain hike as it is on the high street.
For all you active and outdoorsy folks, this is your new favourite coat. Like the Rosedale, the Rockcliffe quilted coat from Moose Knuckles Canada is a little more lightweight than the parkas, and is perfect for hikers, gym-goers and day-to-day shoppers looking to stay warm-but-not-too-warm. The Rockcliffe is waterproof and comes with that all-important hood to protect you from the UK’s persistent autumn showers, while the Flex Core stretch fabric provides ease of movement with the perfect fit. Wear this over any casual outfit and be prepared for it to become your go-to everyday accessory.
Are you a Moose Knuckles convert now? We most certainly are. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the range, as well as our wider collection of cosy coats and gilets and stylish designer jackets to make sure you’ve got the perfect outerwear options for all occasions.
Introducing Rosie Fortescue Jewellery at Stanwells: The Interview
We absolutely love introducing a new brand to the Stanwells family and this month we have a sparkling new addition.
Many of you may know her as one of the stars of the channel 4 hit show, Made in Chelsea, but to us she is the creator of a truly stunning line of jewellery.
Yes, we are of course talking about the fabulous Rosie Fortescue, and today we’re chatting to her about the latest collection in her jewellery line, and finding out a little more about where her inspiration comes from.
So without further ado, let’s get into it.
#1 - Hi Rosie, it’s wonderful to be chatting to you! Let’s start from the beginning - Where did your ambition to create your own jewellery range begin?
“I have been obsessed with jewellery for as long as I can remember. I was a magpie as a child, constantly going through my mother’s jewellery and trying her rings on!”
#2 - Was there anything in particular that triggered you to finally make the dream a reality?
“I wanted to have all of my ducks in a row and everything in order before launching. I took about 6 months to sample with the factory, set up the business and make a plan for the year ahead. I had been thinking about it for a few years and had all these ideas and sketches ready to go, but I knew I had to wait until I was also able to allocate time to the company to give it the best chance!”
#3 - How did you and your team work together on the range? What was involved in the process?
“My brand is just me! I draw like a baby, sadly, but my factory team is amazing at creating CAD drawings. I draw with measurements, then they send the CAD. I then select the metals and stone colours, and make a few changes here and there to the CAD drawings.
“Samples are made and sometimes changed slightly, then the orders are placed. I have some hoops coming out (hopefully before Christmas) using Swarovski stones, and I’ve changed the sample 4 times. I am a perfectionist and it’s essential that everything is perfect, although now it’s touch and go for the Christmas sales!”
#4 - You’re a busy bee - how do you fit the jewellery business around your day to day life?
“I work until late most evenings and always at the weekends. I have to find the time, because if I am not working on it, nothing gets done!”
#5 - Are there any designers, collections or other influences that inspired your own designs?
“I am mostly inspired by architecture, shapes, angles, and colours that I see day-to-day in London. I always keep my eyes open for new inspiration, especially when I’m travelling.”
#6 - Do you have a favourite piece/pieces in your collection?
“I basically never take off my Huggy Hoops and Tight Chain Necklaces. The Hand Cuffs are also the perfect statement accessory.”
#7 - How has the business grown and evolved since launch, and what do you have planned for the future of the range?
“I have launched three collections now, and each new day is just as exciting as when I started. Every day is different, I am still learning and committing to hopefully making the brand a huge success!”
#8 - Do you have a piece of jewellery or a keepsake you absolutely love for sentimental reasons?
“Yes, a vintage Rolex I bought a few years ago. I adore it and feel lost without it!”
#9 - We’ve all recently been treated to lots of fashion excitement at London Fashion Week - what was your highlight this year?
“Unfortunately I actually missed London Fashion Week for Ibiza this year, but I came back in time to set up my stand at the London Fashion Week Festival, which was fantastic.”
#10 - And finally, do you have any advice for anybody who might want to start their own jewellery line / business?
“It’s not easy, but if you love it enough it won’t feel like work!”
Thanks so much Rosie for taking the time to chat to us, we’re so excited to have the new Rosie Fortescue Jewellery collection here at Stanwells!
Brand of the Month: Boutique Moschino
The time has come once again for us to choose our brand of the month, and we’ve got another absolute cracker for you. Introducing Boutique Moschino, Moschino’s adorable little sister. We’ve been picking out our favourite pieces from the new season collection to share with you, so here goes.
All you label lovers out there will be familiar with Moschino, founded in 1988 by Franco Moschino. The Boutique Moschino clothing line was then created as a way to inject lots of extra fun and vibrancy into the lives of Moschino fans, and boy did they succeed.
Under the creative direction of respected designer, Jeremy Scott, the Boutique line combines the retro, contemporary and quirky eccentricity of the mainline collection, and pours it all into its skirts, tops, jackets and dresses. It more than deserves to be our brand of the month, and we know you’re going to love the latest additions for AW17.
Prepare to fall in love, because we’re about to show you some of the most incredible pieces from Boutique Moschino’s Autumn/Winter collection. We actually had to hold ourselves back from taking them all home for ourselves, and you’re about to see why.
We’ll start with our favourite piece of outerwear, as it is autumn after all.
Boutique Moschino doesn’t ever do things by halves, as this stunning coat demonstrates. Just look at that incredible shade of pink. This is a coat that replaces cold with bold, and it’ll certainly turn heads while you’re walking down the street. The designers haven’t held back on quality either, using a luxurious mix of super soft cashmere and wool to create this stunning winter warmer.
And once you’ve stopped staring at the amazing colour, you start to notice all the other incredible elements to this coat. We just love those chunky buttons with their adorable purple flowers adding an extra feminine touch and breaking up the solid pink. And even the lining is stunning, with it’s bold black background and bright floral pattern. You can even show off the lining (and why wouldn’t you?) by turning up the ends of the sleeves; this coat is just full of lovely surprises.
The coat works in perfect harmony with the rest of the AW17 collection, but you can just as easily wear it as a standalone statement piece with your regular wardrobe. Find it in your size here.
This is not your average little black dress. Boutique Moschino have taken a classic sleeveless LBD cut and added one very special statement element. That stunning floaty feather trim is what sold this dress to us, and we have a sneaking suspicion you’ll be just as taken with it as we are.
Those gorgeous marabou feathers and the understated neck tie detail make this dress ooze sixties glamour and stand out a mile from regular dress styles. We also love the way the elasticated waist creates a flattering shape and helps accentuate that flouncy skirt even more. And, if you wanted to dial up the feather fashion still further, you’ll be thrilled to know there is a matching jacket for this dress. Something this special doesn’t come along every day, so grab yours quick before they all fly away.
Oh wow, how special is this sweater? Contradicting traditional autumn and winter themes, Boutique Moschino has gone heavily floral with their new season collection, something usually reserved for spring and summer. But somehow they’ve made florals work perfectly for autumn, and adorned this simple chunky knit roll neck sweater with the most adorable assortment of crochet flowers.
Like gorgeous little beacons of colour, the flowers add depth and intrigue to this classic jumper style, perfect for brightening up those chilly autumn days. Create the ultimate casual outfit and conversation piece in one by pairing this jumper with your favourite black jeans and a pair of our designer ankle boots.
Sticking with Boutique Moschino’s autumnal florals, we also couldn’t resist this wonderful monochrome flower print shirt for our final pick of the month. As you’ll already know, we’re suckers for a lovely print here at Stanwells, so this absolute stunner of a shirt was guaranteed to find a place in our hearts.
We think this shirt would make the perfect autumn addition to your workwear wardrobe, with it’s classic cut, button through front and long sleeves creating a very smart silhouette for the office. We can see this working perfectly layered under a black blazer with smart trousers and leather ankle boots, with the bold print lifting the whole outfit by just the right amount.
Gorgeous, isn’t it? Find it in your size here, and take a look through our jackets and blazers collection if you want to create that lovely layered look we were talking about.
Wow, who knew a label could have so much personality? Hopefully you can see just from these four pieces exactly why the Boutique Moschino clothing collection made our Brand of the Month this month. And there’s loads more where they came from, too. Check out our full Boutique Moschino new season range, or browse our entire designer clothing collection here.
