About the label: Intelligent, timeless classics with a subtly subversive twist. Expect clean, strong lines presented with clear, bold colours for stylish wardrobe essentials.

About the latest collection: The eponymous label references award winning writer Donna Tartt's (of The Goldfinch fame) literary works, resulting in sartorial classics that exude chic nonchalance. The diffusion line, Sylvester, is inspired by classic '90s TV series Twin Peaks and New Zealand's natural landscape for playful lumberjack checks and other designs of that ilk.

Brand philosophy: "I love to mash up disparate references, from sportswear to couture, mens tailoring with womenswear, pop culture and history, high art to punk rock."
