After catching the British Fashion Council’s catwalk show, featuring the likes of Michael Van der Ham, Christopher Raeburn and Tim Soar, we were lucky enough to steal featured designer Holly Fulton away from drinks with her glamorous team for a quick chat.
Ever friendly and enthusiastic, Fulton explained that her inspiration for the collection was the late Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s love affair with the Duke of Westminster, during which the couple spent time fishing in the grounds of his Scottish home. Fulton says that these were the happiest times of Chanel’s life and as such the collection featured tongue-in-cheek lip patterns alongside pearls and beautifully cut silk shift dresses with Fulton’s trademark Art Deco inspired prints.
Although Holly Fulton is only a small label, the designer said she uses the best quality silk and tailoring she can, so the pieces may be ready to wear but the fabric and construction is all couture-worthy. She also revealed that there will be a solo Holly Fulton catwalk show at London Fashion Week this September!
