Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

Have a look at the heart-achingly desirable new Beatles-inspired winter 2011 collection from the genius that is Chloe Townsend's Missibaba.

"The iconic Beatles and their flamboyant military-esque Sgt. Pepper suits inspired Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. Camel, pale grey, royal bursts of scarlet, camomile yellow, 'piknik doek' blue and gold form a vibrant colour palette that takes you right back to the swinging sixties. Detailing includes a military loop, a kaleidoscope inspired cut out and a neutral base with vibrant contrasting accents" with hints of printed oversized gingham.






Missibaba has also opened a studio shop which is just heavenly. Set amongst the working bustle & multi-coloured leather smorgasbord that is the Missibaba studio lies a quiet browsing & buying nook. To me, more like a shrine to all that is Missibaba. I could do a morning meditation in there. Chloe is also joined by her friend Meg Summs who has the equally delicious clothing label Fabric. "Summs works with delicate fabrics to create tailored shirts, haboutai silk kaftans, silk and cotton nouveau print 'hitch up' dresses, mesh under slips and stitched panelled jumpsuits".
