Initial reaction:

Packing for a writer’s retreat.

Oh boy:

Tousled hair and schoolboy skinny ties drew comparisons to those awkward, melancholic teenage boys in school with Oscar Wilde obsessions and literary dreams.

How they wore it:

Slightly slack blazers with regulation black boots, shirts untucked and topped with a bucket hat. Roll necks and collarless shirts the uniform of would-be philosophers.

Design codes:

Howell’s work wear aesthetic appeared in duffle coats and hooded jackets, coupled with the English gentlemen vibe of tweed suits. Her favoured palette of navy, cream and black remained true.

Soundtrack:

Talking Heads “Road to Nowhere”
