REMEMBER, REMEMBER

Remember, remember the fifth of November. Gunpowder, treason and plot. 

Bonfire night is a tradition that many of us take part in. November 5^th is the day designated by King James I labelled “the joyful day of deliverance.” Bonfires are lit around the world to celebrate the capture of Guy Fawkes and the survival of the King.

The Gunpowder Plot took place in 1605, led by Robert Catesby and his men. They placed 36 barrels of gunpowder in the cellars underneath the Houses of Parliament, ready to set off an explosion, planning to kill King James I and the House of Lords.

Robert Catesby took it upon himself to recruit members, those including Guy Fawkes, Thomas Wintour and John Wright. The planning all took place in the Plotting room at Lypiatt Park. The exact location of our AW13 Collection backdrop.

With over 10 acres of gardens, a sculpture park and a turret topped house filled with art pieces by Damien Hirst, we found ourselves in the perfect location. There were so many nooks and crannies that our slippers could fit in, a maze of bedrooms to shoot our nightwear and an abundance of gardens that accompanied our faux fur coat collection.

We hope you all have a safe but fun night tonight and don't forget to wrap up warm with our faux fur or knit accessories.
