Whether home or away, DeMellier is the London-based brand to carry about town. The latest summer collection, Côte d'Azur, is an ode to the relaxed, warm-weather elegance of the South of France, with effortless, elegant styles from canvas striped shoulder bags to chic, ladylike top-handle bags taking you from al fresco dining in Cannes to sun-basking on the Mediterranean coastline.
Australian swimwear brand Bond-Eye, born in Sydney's Bondi beach, is designed using The Authentic Crinkle™ fabric, and is one size fits all from XS to L. Handmade styles follow a four-way stretch and instant recovery along the body, resulting in snap-back swimwear that flatters every figure. Made to be seen, the bold, ultra flattering silhouettes are created with intention from start to finish, incorporating modern ethical production practices.
L'avventura di Sézane is the latest collection from French fashion brand Sézane. Although born in Paris, this season the brand takes us on a La Dolce Vita journey from Milan to Rome, with new limited-edition pieces boasting Italian-inspired prints, embroideries, and savoir faire. Like every season, Sézane celebrates creativity locally by honoring artists and their work, transporting you to the Italian streets.
Coastal ease was the inspiration behind FRAME's spring collection, boasting signature Californian styles true to the brand's DNA but with a fresh take on modern dressing, seen through unexpected details, precise design and luxurious materials. Timeless favourites like crisp shirts and trusty denim staples remain the pillar, but are mixed with textures like ruffles and crochet for a wardrobe that will see you through the season with a contemporary elegance.
London-based, demi-fine jewellery brand Missoma are giving women armour this season, with jewellery inspired by the Greek goddess of protection.
