That was, till, I visited their Notting Hill showroom earlier this month.
A nostalgic and elevated label primarily based in London, Sister Jane excels in sudden and distinctive silhouettes – serving frills, gildings and bows to an Instagram technology. Each piece exudes an air of exclusivity – new capsule collections launch on-site each six weeks, which suggests each piece appears like a limited-edition gem – not solely nodding to retro types however present tendencies, too.
Take their newest Dream assortment, for instance: puffed sleeves, pearl gildings and rose motifs pay homage to the flouncy, futuristic babydoll types seen at Coperni, Valentino and David Koma in the beginning of the season. Elsewhere, plaid tops, hair bows, skirts and attire (of which I attempted on a couple of – maintain studying) mirror the desire for examine seen at Loewe and Helmut Lang for AW24. Cool-yet-cosy items like a protracted pleated skirt at Burberry and a floor-length tartan gown at aforementioned Loewe definitely supplied inspiration for Sister Jane’s newest drop.
I ended up making an attempt on 10 totally different Sister Jane outfits throughout my go to that every felt completely becoming to my AW necessities: party-appropriate denims, jacquard attire suited to winter weddings, and essentially the most attractive bow-adorned denim shirt which I can not wait to put on with equally dark-washed denims. And that is earlier than I even began on the menswear assortment, which options some unisex gems I am so glad I found.
