About this deal
Adémidé Udoma: I see fashion as a powerful medium, similar to music and other disciplines. All in all, it’s a way of expression and visual communication; it can bring people together and give them a sense of identity and belief. The aim is always to provoke intrigue, feeling and eventual discernment. We want to ensure our community and customer can learn to be more conscious consumers of design by being transparent with our research, design and production.
CP: We are fortunate enough to have a symbiotic working relationship having worked together for such a long length of time. Our collective vision is united, both in terms of our aesthetic and our sentiment regarding sustainability. It is this unwavering vision that helps to shape both the outlook for the collection and our brand.

Pieces feel relevant yet have a timeless quality. The collections are always an evolution of the one before and with this approach our woman can wear signature pieces for years to come. Longevity and versatility are the cornerstones of the brand.
