The lovely team at InStyle Magazine have chosen our Zoe Cashmere Roll Neck Jumper as one of their best roll necks to layer under summer dresses! “Roll neck jumpers, turtleneck jumpers, polo neck jumpers… Whatever you want to call it, the high neck hero is our favourite knitwear as we come into autumn. In fact, the prospect of chunky jumpers is one of the only things that make the falling temperatures ok. As well as wearing them the conventional way — with denim — they can prolong your summer outfits. Sleeveless ruffle dresses and pinafores can serve you well into winter with a layer underneath. Thinking forward to winter and ‘Christmas party season’, they’re the simplest way to keep things casual. Whether it’s a luxe brocade or velvet dress, a polo neck can just make things a bit more daytime. Wear with a slim ankle boot for a real AM to PM look.” “A fine grey roll neck is a summer outfit saver when the weather gets a bit chillier. Just layer up.” Shop Zoe here! Read the feature here.  

Our new Autumn collection is here! We’re so excited to share with you our inspirations behind our beautiful new collection. Our designs for the Autumn season take inspiration from minimalist twentieth-century architectural style.  The colour palette and the organic forms used in the work of Le Corbusier and the monochromatic structural qualities of Mies van der Rohe’s work inform the designs throughout the season.     We have focused on simplicity through using clean lines and with a pure use of colour at the beginning of the season. The structure of the garments refer to the lines used in modern architecture with sculptured silhouettes and curved forms. Textural, weather-worn exteriors are the inspiration for print. Building materials such as concrete, steel and brick inspired the colour palette of the collection, and offer texture to surfaces. Les 100 Ciels’ luxurious cashmere features at the heart of every collection and this season this beautiful yarn is given a multi-dimensional effect by varying weights and layering. We hope that you enjoy wearing our new collection! Shop new arrivals here.
