The pull-power of the celebrity is a long known phenomenon, not least within the fashion realm. Recently, the vintage designer category has become the latest to experience the hype factor, with the A-List set pioneering its revival.

A sustainable trend in luxury we are obviously on board with, we've been loving the outward celebration of  some of the best of 80s Versace, Alaia and Mugler,  90s Dior, Gucci and Gaultier - iconic pieces of their era which still feel every bit as special today.

Read on to take a look at some of our favourite archival looks that have been deservingly brought back into the limelight, how they're being reinterpreted for wear in 2020.

Cristóbal Balenciaga had a reputation as a designer with uncompromising standards. His jewellery is an example of his unwavering dedication to quality and design, as a result his work features heavily in our vintage collections.

This week we took a deep dive into the history of the house, which reminded us of how fortunate we feel to have our hands on some of the incredible creations that were released during the very final years of his reign.

Now that outing and abouting has become the norm again, we've been looking forward to making plans ahead of schedule with our friends and loved ones.

If you are based in Auckland or have plans to visit soon, and you've been looking for things to do while the cooler weather continues, here's our roundup of what we're looking forward to enjoying in the city and, of course, what we'll plan to wear for each occasion.  

In celebration of our new collection launch this week, we sat down with the founder of Grace and Flora, Hannah Low to ask her a few questions about her particular style, how she got into the floristry industry, her prediction on floral trends to come and what she loves the most about the Grace & Flora x Love and Object collaboration.

Alongside cosy wines by the fire,  romantic rainy evening dates and, most excitingly, ski-season, with the incoming cold season comes new opportunities to think outside the box when it comes to dressing.

As the temperature continues to drop, we've been looking to sartorial inspiration which has us reaching for our jewellery box just as much, if not more so than we do during the warmer months. 

For us this winter it's all about layering, embellishing and making the most of our favourite accessories in new and unexpected ways.  If you're in need of a little inspo this season, take a look at our a round up of looks that have caught our eye recently below... x

Over the past year we have had the pleasure of staying at The Britten Stables n Christchurch a number of times - our accomodation of choice whenever visiting our Cantabrian stockists and holding our vintage trunk shows. In time, we've been lucky to get to know the gorgeous owner of the landmark location, Isabelle Weston.  

Running the space is a full time job in itself and now with two gorgeous girls in tow, Adaline and Raphaela, we were thrilled when Isabelle kindly agreed to spend a few minutes with us to chat with us about the restoration, her approach to style, and how she's been dealing with life's big changes over the last few months, just in time for Mother's Day...

Back in February, we were lucky enough to be treated to a private viewing of Penny Calder's spectacular vintage magazine collection - an incredible library which includes every single edition of British Vogue since 1950.
