In the heart of North London's Highbury Fields, the enigmatic Creative Director, Daniel Lee, returned for his second act, unveiling a collection that epitomized sophistication with an intriguing edge.

The show opened with a bold statement piece - a sleek black drop-waist belted coat that set the tone for an assemblage of functional yet exquisitely refined pieces. Lee's mastery of outerwear was unmistakable, with trench coats in various renditions, from cropped to sweeping lengths, draped in timeless shades like ivory and black. However, Lee didn't shy away from introducing audacious hues, including a daring red with intricate chain print detailing, imbuing classic pieces with a modern allure. This daring print also graced blouses, dresses, and handbags, infusing the collection with a playful sophistication.

The subtle touch of metallic buckles elegantly adorns loafers and crossbody bags, infusing a hint of urban chic into their design. Yet, it was the unexpected motif of blue strawberries along with bold floral prints and embellishments that added a touch of whimsy to tops, dresses, and trousers, a testament to Lee's ability to seamlessly blend playfulness with refinement. The show concluded with a nod to the brand's heritage—the Equestrian Knight design, a cornerstone of Lee's brand revitalisation, took centre stage on a chunky black belt, punctuating the collection with a little drama.

Lee's skill-fulness in fusing traditional British design with a contemporary twist remained evident, offering a tantalising glimpse into his ever-evolving fashion narrative.
