Inspiration for our 2023 collections comes from emerging, progressive, global subcultures, as well as those having a resurgence. Night Tales is a collision of music and fashion. It’s championing individuality as much as togetherness. It’s about the whole experience of going out. The outfits you spent weeks planning; the excitement of the bus journey there; the conversations with strangers in the smoking area; the unrivalled joy of being together on the dancefloor.

Nightlife may differ from city to city, but its feeling is universal. It’s always night time somewhere. So, whether your ideal night out involves an 8-hour techno rave, a new music festival at your local indie, or a pop world DJ set from your mate’s living room, chuck on your favourite Fred Perry and document your memories.
