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.

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.
