Clothes should inspire delight. This is the defining principle behind Hunter Bell, launched by its eponymous designer in New York City in 2006. Whether a fine detail, a bold splash of colour, or an eccentric twist, delightful surprise is the central motif in the collections of Hunter Bell. Every day, go-everywhere apparel is elevated to the extraordinary.

AW23 has a sublime dressing up box aesthetic. Taking inspiration from some of London’s most iconic women (Jane Birkin, Twiggy, Queen Elizabeth), this collection moves from rural to urban; 30s to 60s; tweed to cotton; and the joy is in the juxtaposition.
