Violet & Wren takes on an adventurous spirit for Autumn/Winter 2018, tracing the maritime routes of Victorian Botanist Joseph Banks on his voyage to the Pacific, exploring the plant and insect life discovered afresh and the delicate, finely detailed botanical studies from Bank’s illustrations.
From giant, tropical palms dotted with glossy beetles and curling creepers to tiny filigree antipodean blossoms with elegant leaves and heavenly, night-scented blooms, the AW18 collection captures the awe and wonder that these new plant specimens must have inspired in an age of discovery. The romantic palette of warm cream, crimson and soft eucalyptus green meets a clean, rose pink and Pacific jade with pops of bright chartreuse and teal.
Maritime stripes give nod to the voyaging feel and intricate, leaf laces in storm grey and chartreuse green elevate the collection into new territories. Modern, square sleep shirts and slouchy tees are layered with sporty shorts and classic pyjama sets to bring a modern and nonchalant approach to loungewear dressing. New silhouettes include an elegant silk satin backless gown, a relaxed kimono and lace cami, French knickers and a soft lingerie set in filigree French lace.
