SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Palm fronds, Venus flytraps and big cats stalk across House of Hackney’s fantastical wallpapers and textiles. And thanks to a new collaboration with & Other Stories, they now get to play across rather fetching dresses, kimonos and blouses, too. The 12 looks in the collection correspond to the signs of the zodiac (Taurus is below), and House of Hackney co-founder Frieda Gormley calls it ‘a heightened version of nature… inspired by British psychedelia, vibrant fabrics from our local Ridley Road Market, and the bohemian mood of the Bloomsbury Group’. Whatever references you divine, one thing’s certain: no one will mind if you don’t stick to your own sign. Dress, £69, and mules, £79, House of Hackney & Other Stories, stories.com.
