Lorna | Quilted Floral Watercolour Jacket

With so many colours in one piece, you might think it will be overwhelming!

Imagine instead a painting: watercolour flowers in fuchsia, turquoise, and aqua green blending into one another against a very light background. Stop imagining: the Lorna is a work of art before it is a print.

• Blended colours
  No hue stops abruptly: the pinks glide into purples, the turquoise into greens. It is these soft transitions that make the whole harmonious rather than garish.
• A light background
  The pearl grey that carries the pattern calms the whole piece and allows the flowers to breathe. Without it, the jacket would be overwhelming; with it, it is radiant.
• A single statement piece
  Worn over black or plain grey, it becomes the entire outfit. This is the simplest way to wear a lot of colour: just put it in one place.
• Quilted comfort
  The fine padding protects against the chill without weighing down the shoulders or restricting the arms. You forget you are wearing it.
• Dark finishes
  The anthracite piping frames the edges and structures this abundance. It is the frame of the painting.

Colour is only overwhelming when it is everywhere at once. Concentrated on a single jacket, it becomes a signature — the one you will be asked to wear again.
