Whenever we put together a photoshoot we always hope to work with a great team.  Somehow we keep getting lucky because once again we found ourselves working with an amazing group of photographers, make up artists and models.

We set up shop at Workrate Studios in East London to go through the new collection.  Take a look at what we got up to and stay tuned for online preorders next month!
