Influences

Cosmetique colours are an influence for the trend’s fragile colour palette of muted boudoir-inspired tints.

We are inspired as ever by vintage interiors and opulent elegance that speak of the romance of a bygone era. The whisper of light through a delicate lace curtain, the diadem gleam of a crystal chandelier or the soft touch of velvet and silk offsetting ornate faded plasterwork.

There is a modernist touch to the trend with understated decorative detailing creating a chiaroscuro of light and shade in the all-important white palette that is key to the look.

The sharp angles of art deco and the arts and crafts movement can help inform silhouettes, combining graphic shapes with something soft and curvilinear.

Vintage influences have never been more important to the fashion industry with up-market websites now selling high quality vintage pieces online.

We celebrate craftsmanship too within this trend – With everything from vintage trunks and heritage luggage pieces to spectacular one-off pieces of jewellery that will forever stand the test of time.
