The Belle dress has been made in it's final edition for Summer 2025 coinciding with new photographs and a trip to Japan.
I recently photographed Coni Thorne, model and theatre producer in the Belle dress. The dress, with its orange blossom print on a light blue cotton cloth, makes for timeless romantic images.
This year the dress has been made in its last edition of just three dresses, each hand made at my studio in Somerset, UK
Everyone styles the Belle dress so differently, I love how Coni wore it nonchalantly as if it were a warm summer night. 
Earlier this year I visited Tokyo, Japan for an inspiration trip to replenish my love of design. It didn't disappoint and I came back with a new sense of calm and desire to create beautiful things. The appreciation, care and respect for everything was apparent everywhere we went, I wanted to bottle that ethos and spread it here.
I took the Belle dress, rolled up in my suitcase and it was the perfect light travel dress. Great for the heat and humidity of Singapore and crisp sunny days shopping Ginza boutiques in Tokyo. I styled the dress with ballet flats or white converse trainers for day and strappy heels for night.
