Rosie Evans SS25 Play for Today
Rosie Evans SS25 Play for Today
TInspired by 1970’s BBC Play for Today, a collection of dramas written for the small screen that included folk horror classics like Penda’s Fenn and Nigel Kneale’s Beasts. Filtered through the eye of Rosie Evans, we translated the claustrophobic kitschyness into soft summer pieces. Tiered kitty dresses and antique French needlepoint bodysuits, cotton jersey dyed with avocado seeds and angel denim pieces.
For this collection we tried to refocus our efforts on sustainability and using deadstock and vintage materials. We were incredibly lucky to work with Sula a Brighton ethical brand who donated their leftover materials and Ofplanetearth a London brand who donated their collection of vintage an antique French needle points.
We focused on finding deadstock denim and cotton pointelle for our Angel Sets and Bed Playsuits and sourced vintage embroideries for the 3 Kitten Dresses and the Selkie Dress from a trip to Hungary
