Encapsulating the frenetic energy of the Bright Young Things: the intoxicating, riotous debauchery, and captivating bacchanalia, against the backdrop of magnificent country houses.
‘Nearly a century on, we celebrate their liberated ethos and irreverent spirit for AW24’, says Alice Temperley MBE. ‘The shared tendency to break from convention and challenge the norm with a deep lust for life!’
Established during a period of metamorphic change, the set’s playfulness and seeming contradictions are captured in the combinations and diversity throughout the collection. Sentimentality and frivolity, glittering facades with rugged, raw edges, contrasting linings and novel textures alongside exquisite embellishment, Dada-esque prints on striking silhouettes. Bringing the ‘high bohemia’ of the artists, writers and socialites back to life.
Metamorphosis is a central theme, seen throughout the collection in standout Monarch butterfly — a symbol of hope and change — motifs, photomontage moth prints and dégradé embellishments transfigure from animal print seemingly into abstracted moth’s wings. Showcased in the Atlas and Emperor styles.
The Temperley approach to party dressing is embodied in the new season designs: ‘undone and effortless’, styled with worn-in house coats and relaxed tailoring. Note the plush fluidity of the Larissa velvet, made to be in the limelight. Unifying the aesthetic and the experience, the tenet of a life well lived.
Florals are given a gothic reinvention in the Inez story, bringing an enigmatic moodiness, a fresh take on the typically feminine heritage aesthetic. A contrary attitude perfectly illustrated by one of the collection’s muses: fellow West Country dreamer, author of the paranormal, Daphne du Maurier.
A seductive fever dream set in the modern day, imagined in a heady palette of flaxen golds, ochres and rusts, enlivened by luscious greens, Wedgwood blues and Tuscan peach, weaving a narrative from the original beautiful and the damned.
