Women are profoundly layered beings—resilient, intuitive, and endlessly complex. Their strength runs far deeper than what meets the eye.
The inspiration behind this Tweed story came from observing how, over time, women have gracefully stepped into spaces traditionally held by men, adopting their roles without losing their essence.
In this narrative, she wears men’s tweed—structured, bold, traditionally masculine—and yet remains unmistakably soft, compelling, and strong. Her femininity doesn't need to be exaggerated; it simply exists, quietly powerful.
I’ve been fortunate to be raised and shaped by strong, resourceful women—my grandmother, my mother, and my sister. Their elegance and strength continue to inspire me deeply.
These women have moved through life with a quiet, majestic grace—offering warmth, safety, and softness, all while standing firmly in their strength. Watching them, I’ve learned that true femininity doesn’t contradict power—it enhances it.
This collection blends vintage men’s country tweed—tailored jackets, walking sticks, classic felt and tweed hats—with delicate, timeless pieces: my grandmother’s hand-spun spider lace wedding dress, a satin petticoat slip, and an antique Marcasite brooch. Heirlooms passed down through generations, carrying stories of grace and grit.
The result is a timeless juxtaposition: a woman who channels quiet strength and captivating beauty, without needing to say a word.

Romance and natural beauty are at the heart of my work.
For this collaboration, I had the pleasure of creating a look for the radiant Zoë, whose peaches-and-cream complexion and flowing waves of red hair lent themselves beautifully to an ethereal, effortless aesthetic.
Guided by Alexa’s vision and Lori’s romantic, old-world Irish country styling, the look came together with ease - soft, timeless, and brimming with understated elegance.
Zoë's skin was gently prepped with Chanel Hydra Beauty Cream, ensuring a luminous, hydrated base. I applied a whisper of Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation and a touch of colour from the Tarte Blush Palette for a fresh, delicate glow.
Her eyes were kept minimal with just a sweep of mascara, allowing the skin and hair to take centre stage.
For lips, I blended Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream with a hint of Dior Addict Lip Glow in Berry, creating a soft, romantic sheen.
Zoë’s hair was loosely tousled with mousse, then left for the wind to shape naturally, completing the ethereal, countryside mood.
The result was a look that feels effortless, romantic, and timelessly feminine.
