Vacation or staycation, the look du jour and forever more - probably - is laid-back threads that you can live, eat and tap dance in, so call off the search and start investing Tallulah & Hope's breezy elegance.
Founders Lisa Ispani and Zoe Holborough masterminded a niche fashion brand that's set to sell-out when the neo-boho crowd cotton on (pun intended). Stylefinder speaks to designer Lisa Ispani about Tallulah & Hope's beginnings and fashion mottos.
When did you found Tallulah & Hope?
2010: We were together with friends on holiday and one afternoon - after too much white wine - we started talking about the kaftan and the perfect holiday wardrobe. We believed that with a fresh, new approach we could transform the kaftan into something that the modern women would pack and really enjoy wearing. We didn't want to entertain holiday wardrobe clichés, or dress like someone else on holiday...as so often happens. It's about simple style for stylish women.
In a nutshell, what's Tallulah & Hope's aesthetic?
Our collection is style-led not trend-led, we are about great classic style.
What makes Tallulah & Hope special?
Exclusive signature prints in a restricted pallete. We make very small runs in each colour way, so everything in our collection is effectively a limited edition. We spent a lot of time and attention making sure the collection is really wearable and by introducing simple suede accessories, it's easy to modify an outfit in several ways offering the wearer creative freedom and great value without sacrificing style.
Your favourite piece?
Our Hero kaftan. As the name suggests it can beautifully adapt to any situation with the right accessories.
The ultimate fashion motto is...
If you feel good you look good.
Best fashion advice you've ever heard?
In 1923, Coco Chanel said 'simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance'.
