IN THE DESIGN ROOM:
SCENE FIVE
A tougher take on the season, this collection has been inspired by tales from the seven seas. You'll find more hardware, more skulls, more crystals, more studding and edgier motifs that perhaps we wouldn't normally create.
Pirate punk has two iterations of print that are designed to work together; one is the red paisley and flora, the second is an animal print. We took a lot of our inspiration from tattoo art, so it features a lot of line drawings mixed in with the paisley. Animal print always proves to be a crowd favourite, and here we've darkened it for a slightly edgier look. The fluffy robe is a bit of hero piece.
Midnight Pearl has a lot of opportunities to mix and match different print iterations within the range. Drawn by our in-house artists, this print nods to the first female pirate and the first female tattoo artist, featuring line drawings of octopus, seascapes, mermaids that float throughout. The first is patterned with bandana-style artwork, which acts almost like a solid for us; the second is all about sparkle, with lurex woven through and heavily embellished trims for added luxury; and the third is a white-based canvas with black pirate motifs.
