Having spent a few days working away in Brighton – the town where I grew up – talk turned to where I might ultimately set-up home if my husband and I decide we have out-grown our little garden flat barely made for two.
Back home in London, I dropped-off my luggage to travel east to see the new collection by sustainable luxury label VIMPELOVA. The event took place in a Victorian family home where designer, Veronika Vimpelova lives and works. Mentally setting-up home and filling my wardrobe with Veronika’s chic pieces made of organic linen, organic cotton and peace silk, the period setting perfectly complimented traditional pleating and cording techniques.
I haven’t contemplated a crop-top for years, but VIMPELOVA nails them with sophisticated examples like this made of peace silk.
It’s surprising what shopping in a relaxed environment can do for your confidence. I bought this crop-top in traditional hand-block printed, hand-dyed Czech Indigo (Veronika is originally from the Czech Republic).
This piece is from Veronika’s first collection, which is available to shop on online. You can also rent some pieces from Wear the Walk.
The new VIMPELOVA collection, which includes pieces for women and men is available to preview and pre-order from your own home now.
