Creative director Sarah Burton was inspired
by the Irish playwright and consummate
dandy Oscar Wilde. For A/W17, the designer
drew on both the author’s life in London,
where he lived in Chelsea, and his final days
living in exile in Paris, at L’Hôtel on the
Left Bank. The collection featured topcoats,
skinny tailoring and regimental jackets,
as well as brocade and jacquard flourishes.
A recurrent motif of peacock feathers
referenced the plumes painted above the
bed of Wilde’s room in Paris.
