Summer 26 | A Study in Monochrome

There is an enduring confidence in monochrome dressing. Defined by the interplay of black and white, it is a styling approach that feels both timeless and distinctly modern, making it the perfect choice for spring events and occasion dressing. From race day celebrations to special invitations on the social calendar, monochrome offers a polished simplicity that allows silhouette, texture and detail to take centre stage. For Derby Day in particular, where black and white remains the dress code of choice, these statement pieces deliver a fresh perspective on event dressing.

One of the season’s defining details, fringe introduces movement, texture and modern glamour to occasion wear. The statement Grayson Set is designed to make an impact when worn together, creating a directional look that feels perfectly suited to Derby Day celebrations and evening events alike. Equally versatile as separates, each piece can be styled independently, offering endless possibilities for elevated spring dressing.
A study in contrast, our exclusive Monochrome Floral print reimagines classic florals through a refined black and white lens. Featured in the Nova Shirtdress, the striking print is balanced by a feminine silhouette, creating an effortless option for spring occasions. Elegant yet contemporary, it captures the versatility of monochrome styling while bringing a softer, more romantic approach to race day and event dressing.

For a contemporary take on event style, the Spotty Statement Skirt combines dramatic volume with considered design. Defined by its exaggerated silhouette and full skirt, it creates a striking shape that feels both sophisticated and fashion-forward. Whether paired with a crisp shirt or a coordinating monochrome top, it offers a refined approach to elevated day dressing throughout the season
