And this is why we go to trade fairs. Trawling the halls at one of Paris's biannual accessories shows, we stumbled on a Japanese womenswear brand which halted any further progress. Founded by Yuka & Yusuke Nakagawa in 2007, Nicholson and Nicholson is all about impeccable craft and simple beauty.

This is Spring's perfect capsule wardrobe. Jersey basics in matelot stripes and primary plains, paired with relaxed pants, skirts and jackets in darkest navy, taupe and white, twinned with oversized cotton blouses in red and preppie shirting in madras checks and softest pearl pink. Love.
