Located in the mountains of Trinidad and Tobago is the Saut D’Eau House, a serene, open plan residence designed by Ackee Workshop to suit the lines and contours of the land.

We have been featuring the Charman Prize consistently pretty much since its inception, and this year marks the 10th iteration of the show. We often approach it with more than a little trepidation because Bermuda is the muse and for an island that is only twenty-one square miles it can often be a stretch to come up with new and interesting ideas.
Fables, fairy tales, cherubs and fantastical creatures are scattered throughout this strong collection from Patou featuring bucket hats, winged collars and dandified touches such as the extended lace cuffs. Prints were sourced from the archives of the great French artist-illustrators Christian Bérard and Gustave Moreau.
Beading and broderie anglaise combined with streamlined tailoring evoked a modern femininity at Erdem where both men's and women's looks traversed the runway seamlessly. There were hints of Holly Golightly in the large-brimmed hats and narrow silhouettes but our favourites were the black-and-white sketched floral print on dresses, shirts and trousers.
