The Harlequin Rose Collection

We are excited to announce the launch of Pre Fall ’23. Known for our iconic contemporary RTW pieces, this is the ultimate social-season collection.

Inspired by the very first fashion street style images of the Demimonde women at the Longchamp races in Paris - this collection captures the golden era of change, from modest and flounce to playful and easy, when fashion was shifting to a more youthful and relaxed style. These women were from the under currents of society and expressed the most avant-garde style through their creativity.

These inspirations are seen throughout this diverse edit, with signature ruffles and ornate artworks, alongside more playful and relaxed pieces.

The Harlequin Rose print is the main story within the edit. Our design team sourced a handprinted 1900’s print from a beautiful London print archive. This artwork is seen on soft delicate fabrics such as a debut luxe chiffon. With its smooth and soft finish – these more relaxed styles offer minimal effort with maximum reward.

Alongside RTW styles, we have introduced eight wedding dresses, perfectly suited to the contemporary bride-to-be. With styles suited to intimate town hall ceremonies and black tie celebrations, and from traditional silhouettes to sequin minis – each piece has been designed with premium quality and extra attention to detail.

Hero styles such as the Vivian V-Neck Gown offer the perfect event-ready piece. New for Needle & Thread, the specially finished sequins are grouped in polka dot clusters, to create extra sparkle. Intricate textile pieces are also introduced – using detailed embroidery and complex blending techniques in multicoloured threads to capture the painted effect of floral artwork, as seen on the Athena Rose group.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, 80% of the collection continues to be made from responsibly sourced materials.
