JAMES LAKELANBDI­MBA Y LOLA LUXE KNITS

-

It’s not often that a label’s clothing, accessorie­s and jewellery all make a great impression. It’s usually the case that one is creatively stronger than the other. However, Bimba Y Lola gets it right every single time.

Bimba Y Lola is the brainchild of sisters Uxia and Maria Dominguez. Fashion runs in their blood (their uncle is Adolfo Dominguez), but the Spanish duo like to keep a low profile. Founded in 2006, they have only recently arrived on the high street but this was a well-thought-out strategy. Before now, the label has been the fashionist­as’ best kept secret. Known for their colourful and whimsical prints the sisters continue to create and seek out designs with originalit­y. Their label, named after their two greyhounds Bimba and

Lola are now popping up all over the country. This season they have taken their inspiratio­n from the African Maasai people with strong textile designs, striking hues and crafted knots, drapes and piping that lean towards the traditiona­l dress of the

Maasai tribe.

This collection is without doubt their best to date.

I can’t wait to see what’s next. Prices start from £25- £380
