The Fashion Team’s Favourite New Independent Brands

Worme is the latest British brand to catch my eye for its modern, feminine and minimalist designs. Founded by sisters Hannah and Melissa Collett, who were inspired by the effortless glamour of their mother’s 1970s evening wear, it offers beautiful silk separates and bias cut dresses. The Backless Picola Maxi would bring the wow factor to any summer event.

I’ve just come across the contemporary Dutch brand Arma. Specialising in leather with a modern twist, it creates timeless classics that stand the test of time. I love how it embraces simplicity and clean lines. I’ve just invested in the Elizabeth tan leather culottes – I plan on wearing them with pointed flats and a crisp white shirt this season.

I recently discovered Lovaan Studios on Instagram. I love the detailed designs – they are very vintage inspired. From scarf-tie necklines to bow-detail dresses, it’s great at occasionwear with a difference.

Linen separates or short co-ords are pieces I wear on repeat as we move into spring/summer – so I was thrilled to come across Black To Grey. It's the perfect investment because these pieces simply won't go out of style after one season – everything, from the shades to the fits and fabrications, are timeless.
