Former Vogue editors turned entrepreneurs Lucinda Chambers, Serena Hood, and Pip Durell have come together to create a capsule collection that fuses the style and know-how of their individual brands, Collagerie and With Nothing Underneath (WNU).
Following their departure from British Vogue, Chambers and Hood founded the content-led shopping site Collagerie, and Durell launched WNU in 2017 with a line of sustainably sourced, timelessly stylish and precisely designed for women shirts.
Three shirts—one of which is a longer-length tunic—and two pairs of shorts from the two companies will be available starting on 5th July and may be combined and matched for work and pleasure.
“Equally at home in a boardroom or on the beach, these pick’n’mix pieces match in a non conformist way, part polite/part playful,” explained Chambers, who is one of British fashion’s most celebrated stylists and story-tellers, who worked at Vogue for 36 years before leaving in 2017.
The Collagerie X WNU capsule plays on the “less is more” philosophy of both brands by fusing Collagerie’s eye-catching design with WNU’s iconic silhouettes in items with contrasting stripes in khaki, navy, tobacco, and teal.
The capsule is made of Tencel, a substance produced with regard to the environment and generated from cellulose fibres found in the wood pulp of Eucalyptus trees. Under industrial, domestic, soil, and marine circumstances, it is biodegradable and compostable.
