Pulled from a vintage pair in our archive, the Highgate Brown Contrast Lace Up Boots have all the details we love about late 60s and early 70s footwear. Deep brown faux suede meets contrast faux leather, with oversized brass eyelets, a lace-up front and chunky block heel giving them plenty of character.

We really wanted a boot you could wear across the whole season, with cropped denim, mini dresses, jumpsuits and a huge coat thrown over the top. Think Anita Pallenberg in the late 60s in a tiny mini, shaggy coat and enormous sunglasses. They have that same attitude, but are made to become the pair you end up wearing with everything.

Underground

Underground began with the London we picture from the late 60s and early 70s. Tiled stations, old carriage windows, bold directional signs, flashes of red, cream and brown, people heading across town in big coats, boots and flares, stopping for records or coffee before carrying on somewhere else.

We loved the look of the Underground from that time. The curved windows, graphic arrows, strong shapes and colours all had so much character, and slowly those details started finding their way into the collection. The half-flower windows seen at old London stations became the appliqué around the Archway dress, while arrows and geometric panelling run through the denim, jumpsuits and outerwear.

From there we started thinking about 70s uniform dressing. Pieces you could wear across the whole day and keep mixing together. A fitted shirt with cropped flares and boots, a jumpsuit under a huge coat, denim with patchwork leather. The collection was designed to work as one wardrobe, with pieces that could be swapped around depending on the day ahead.

The Making Of Underground

A note from Naomi Hession

If I had to sum up Underground in one image, it would be London street style in 1969. Big coats, flared trousers, knee-high boots and enormous sunglasses. People dressed brilliantly, but still dressed for an actual day of getting around London.
