Collection: I Am A Dreamer Prints

This Autumn Winter delve into the world of the ultimate dandy, Oscar Wilde. As well as his love for beauty and distaste for waste, he had a flair for self publicity. His style blended rebel with dandy, this gent certainly knew how to peacock. Wilde preferred the natural fibres and muted tones seen in the aesthetic movement. This collection takes inspiration from all the above, mixing flamboyant dandy styles, using natural wool and cotton fibres, with prints and embroideries featuring symbolism from Wilde’s most well-known novel ‘The Picture of Dorian Grey.’ The ultra-fashionable (and deadly) arsenic wallpaper colours and designs from the time inspire the moody colours and reflect the irony of Wilde’s view that keeping up with fashion is a folly.
