Fall / Winter ’15 inspiration- LONDON FASHION WEEK

We are very excited to be showing for our second season at London Fashion Week! We thought we would give you a preview of what we will be showing. If you are attending the shows this weekend, come and visit us and see the new collection! The FW15 collection takes inspiration from the iconic French fashion photographer and filmmaker Sarah Moon. Her signature photographic style of dream-like images which represent femininity, are free from time and context. It is these timeless, sensual emblems of luxury and nostalgia that lends to the designs of the new collection. Sarah Moon has an abstract aesthetic that lets a romantic, often melancholic mood shine through. The tone of the collection is influenced by this abstraction of colour, ranging from a muted palette of blush hues and through to strong teal and dark ash as the season develops. The Les 100 Ciels silhouette is enhanced in FW15, combining signature box shapes with slim fitting sleeves. Tapering is modernised through belting paper bag trousers and cropping lengths. A contemporary twist is achieved by mixing yarn weights, combining fine ribbing with chunkier knits and through featuring contrasting woven segments.       Les 100 Ciels maintains it’s ...

Exclusive Collaboration- Spring Summer 15′ Printed Scarves

 To launch our Spring/ Summer ’15 collection, we are injecting a dash of colour into our styles to mirror the changing seasons. What better way to find that freshness than through the world of art?! Our beginnings are deeply rooted in Chinese culture, as the name Les 100 Ciels meaning One Hundred Skies in French, was taken from a Chinese poem. To honor our foundations, we decided to approach a Chinese artist to collaborate with us on an exclusive range of painted scarves. We reached out to the talented, Chao Xi Liu, whose work is inspired by nature and the ever changing  sky which perfectly matches our own inspiration. Based in Southern China, Chao Xi Liu’s work centers around large scale installations and floor to ceiling murals, delighting all who have witnessed his creations. We are proud to introduce our Printed scarves collection, exclusively developed by Chao Xi Liu for Spring Summer 2015.  The beautiful patterns range from soft blues, through to burnt oranges and deep, enchanting purples, palettes which evoke the colours of sunsets and day breaks perfectly. Made from 100% wool, the lightweight scarves add a splash of colour to any outfit, making them great to wear from day to night. Find your ...

Borrowing from the boys

Menswear is constantly informing the way we wear our clothes, more so now than ever before.  Who doesn’t love a comfy boyfriend jumper! We recently went to London Men’s Collections and could see womenswear influencing the designs too. Most women have flirted with the idea of menswear, as Vogue says: ‘Katharine Hepburn wore Brooks Brothers shirts bought from a secret girls-only counter at the back of the New York store, Marlene Dietrich worked the tux with unrivalled command, while Doris Day cavorted in her lover’s oversized shirts’. Here is our City Edit, which borrows styling from the boys and paired with our more structured pieces like Harper. This look is great for work wear and cosmopolitan living!
