LONDON FASHION WEEK

This time last week we were in the middle of Somerset House rubbing shoulders with some of the top stylists and fashion bloggers at London Fashion Week. Tanya, our PR & Marketing Assistant centered her outfit around her Jet fur gilet (third picture along).

Tanya managed to meet up with the lovely girls from Your Coffee Break down in London to have a good catch up over a lovely cup of coffee! The girls have always been really supportive of the brand so we loved seeing Charlotte (bottom right) rock our Mink Cossack Hat at London Fashion Week, doesn't she look great! 

Whilst queueing for the KTZ Show we recognised a familiar face wearing Ruby+Ed. Spotted in Somerset house looking effortlessly cool and very on trend was music and fashion blogger Karis Jones from bettersungthansaid, sporting a tartan cropped jacket and monochrome jogging pants. Karis was wearing our Bzyantine Tee and Wolf fur snood. When she caught our eye we had to ask what she thought of the Ruby+Ed AW13 Collection. Karis told us that she has always been a huge fan of the brand after being given a pair of slippers as a gift. “The collection is beautifully versatile, I love my velvet ballerina slippers but I have to shout out about the embroidered tee shirt collection, the design and hand crafted workmanship is absolutely beautiful, I had to get this one and I have my eye on the Long Sleeve Tee in Jet and also the Jet Gilet.”

Our time at fashion week had us wishing it was Summer again, the pretty pastels were charged this season with an outstanding palette of duck egg blues, spearmint greens and soft violets seen on the catwalks of Burberry, Christopher Kane and David Koma. The schoolgirl pleats also had a comeback on the catwalks of Jonathan Saunders, the premium fabrics and foiled finishes were something that we were all lusting over for next season. For those who can’t wait until then our Illusions Skirt features a digital print and is loose fitting giving the illusion of flowing pleats. We are also in love with the floral prints and 3D blooms on the catwalks, seen on various runways including Matthew Williamson, J.W Anderson and Eudon Choi. We have always loved what a flowery flair can do to a garment so brace yourself for Ruby+Ed’s SS14 Collection.

GREAT NORTH RUN

On Sunday 15^th  September our UK Trade Manager Hollie ran the Great North Run for AGE UK.  Here is what she had to say about the event:

I always wanted to take part in a big event and as the UK’s Largest half marathon the Great North Run was the perfect opportunity to raise some money for a good cause and improve my fitness! The event itself was huge, it felt like everyone in the city was running or at least coming to watch. On the day I wasn’t expecting such bad weather, but thanks to some good ‘carb loading’ the night before, great company and an overwhelming atmosphere I got round in 2 hours and 4 minutes.  

I just wanted to say a massive Thank you to everyone at Ruby+Ed who bought cakes, donated cash and encouraged me! You’ve been a huge support!

We would love to know what you have been getting up to for charity, get in touch and you will get the opportunity to share you proud moments on the Ruby+Ed blog! 

Take care and keep active, Ruby+Ed x

COLDER DAYS

The days are becoming shorter and the chilly mornings are upon us so this can only mean one thing… winter is coming. But worry not, we have exactly what you want and need to get you through!

Let me introduce you to our wardrobe saviours.

BIG is beautiful this winter. Oversized coats have been reminding us how much we love the androgynous style and we are all shouting out about the tom boy look this season.  Previously seen on Sienna Miller, our Faux Fur coats come in styles including long coats, jackets and hooded coats. Choose either the Mink or Jet hooded coat for that oversized look that’s sure to keep you warm and cosy.

Textured coats were seen all over the AW13 Catwalks with Prada and Givenchy stealing the shows with their oversized furs. We have a new shorter version of our classic hooded coats available in our beautiful mahogany Mink and the wilder option of Snow Leopard. You can also match the jackets up with our winter accessories, a snow leopard headband or mink cossack hat is sure to finish off your outfit. Shop our selection of winter accessories.

We are bringing back the charm and sophistication of the 1920’s. Unveil your inner lady and drape yourself in our luxury long coats that remind us of the upper class heroines of the roaring twenties. The classic styles come in both a long coat and a shorter version jacket, in two different faux furs, Bear and Siberian Stone.  The vintage treasures all have a wide collar and hook fastenings. Team with the Bear or Stone clutch bag for a super sophisticated look.

For a modern take on the faux fur look, we would like to introduce the Mink Cropped Jacket. Whether you're shopping in the day or having a playful night on the town, the Mink cropped jacket is the perfect option to add that extra bit of chic to your outfit!

If you aren’t ready for winter just yet, then the gilet remains the perfect tran-seasonal piece. A great addition to your Autumn/Winter wardrobe, you can wear it whatever the weather and it will carry you right through until next summer! Team it with our Tribal Tee Ecru for a casual day look.

AW13 IS FINALLY HERE!

The time has come for us to launch the AW13 Collection. This year we have been inspired by the vivid hues, rich embellishments and intricate detailing of ancient eastern arts. We bring you a collection filled with covetable limited edition treasures. Here at Ruby+Ed we continually strive to offer not only beautiful products designed with attention to detail but also a unique and individual experience that aims to enrich and intrigue each and every customer. The collection is filled with easy-to-wear pieces ranging for faux fur coats, accessories and nightwear.

We have a stunning range of coats and jackets to keep you warm this winter and undoubtedly the best faux fur around. The brand works really hard to recreate the look and feel of real animal fur in Mink, Bear, Wolf and Snow Leopard without harming any animals. Last year Ruby+Ed made more than one appearance in Glamour’s Top 50 Faux Fur coats and this year we have introduced new styles into the range. You can spice up the colder days with the Wolf Biker Jacket, made with nylon outer for the cold wet weather, but lined with faux fur to keep you warm and looking great. This brand new style will be available from October but to secure your coat pre-order now on 01664 452906. The classic long coats are back for another season; our Mink Hooded Coat previously seen on Sienna Miller is now £275, get it while stocks last. 

A brand new staple this year is our faux fur gilets, available in Jet, Wolf and Siberian Stone. If you are looking for a fashion investment then the faux fur gilet is the one for you. A perfectly transitional product that will take you from Autumn to Winter and back around to next Spring. The beauty of Ruby+Ed gilets is that the sleeveless style means there are a variety of ways to wear it! Click here to shop. 

We love receiving comments and pictures from our customers. Show us how you wear Ruby+Ed by using #rubyandedfans and #showusyourstyle on your photo and the best will be posted on our blog & social media pages!

AW13 HAS LAUNCHED

Click here to see the Ruby+Ed YouTube Channel. 

Haunting, Majestic, Beautiful. 

Set amidst a vast country park, Lypiatt is home to the sublime imaginative sculptures of Lynn Chadwick and his son Daniel. 

For AW13 we selected this elaborate location as the backdrop for our collection, we were mesmerised by its endless hallways adorned in iconic art.

Gliding through the vaulted gallery, the art reflects a study of motion, kinetic energy, angular and organic structures forged anew by man. Old and new side by side,  the grounds natural and the sculpture unnatural forming a stark contrast, alien like and unreal.  Our iconic coats and gilets, crafted from luxury realistic looking animal fur, move through this setting, borrowing grandeur, depicting their rich dense pile and beautiful lustre. 

Enjoy.
