Nobody’s Child & Elizabeth Scarlett Team Up On Spring Capsule
A gorgeous new collaboration between British labels Nobody’s Child and Elizabeth Scarlett launched this week, combining the duo’s shared love of craftsmanship, creativity and ethical fashion into a capsule of dresses, denim, pouches, wash bags and accessories for grown-ups and kids. Inspired by the whimsical feeling of spring, the Nobody’s Child team worked with Elizabeth’s original watercolour paintings depicting pressed flowers and shells, as well as the designer’s signature sun and earth goddess icons, applying them to garments and accessories using dainty embroidery techniques.
In celebration of the collection launch, Nobody’s Child and Elizabeth Scarlett have also donated £10,000 to the Devon Environment Foundation via Conservation Collective, in support of the charity’s work to protect and restore endangered native species at the grassroots.
