Designer Maximilian Davis delves into the spirit of the 1920s, a time characterised by flowing fabrics, dropped waistlines, and relaxed cuts. It’s a nod to an era marked by new-found freedom, perhaps mirroring the sentiment of emerging from the constraints of Covid-19. Amidst lacquered organdie dresses and delicately feminine sheer fabrics adorned with feathers and sequinned embroideries, Davis draws inspiration from women who embraced masculine styles such as Joan Crawford and Greta Garbo. This influence is evident in the collection’s broad shoulders, heavy wools, and supple leathers.

The exploration of class and opulence is depicted through various metaphors in the collection: an Etonian morning suit symbolising aristocracy, mosaic dog motifs adorning accessories and garments, wooden carvings transformed into coat collars, and floral tapestries from grand drawing rooms intricately woven onto dresses and printed onto trousers. The use of caviar beading extends beyond clothing to embellish biker boots and Squeeze bags, adding a touch of luxury to everyday items. Tailoring and couture intersect, blending masculine and feminine elements seamlessly in faultless jackets paired with flowing slacks, sculptural short dresses complementing neckties, and a mix of straight cuts and draping techniques.
