London fashion retailer Hobbs' newly launched Autumn/winter 2015 Collection No5 was inspired by the grand interior and gardens of Hampton Court Palace.
The range features floral patterns reminiscent of 17th century tapestries often found in the palace. The designs blend ideas that span centuries.
Look for “Verdure” patterns, embroidered with flora and
fauna, colourful jacquard blooms, bringing historical designs up-to-date for an ultra feminine look.
Elaborate tapestries, like those found at the Hampton Court Palace,
were a fashionable way to display affluence, the finest costing as much as a
battleship. 'Verdure' patterns, embroidered with flora and fauna were among the
most popular, and the colourful jacquard blooms give this tapestry theme a
modern refashioning.
A silk blouse in the collection has been
inspired by an early 17th-century wall hanging at Hampton Court Palace. The
`Verdure' tapestry incorporates a highly decorative embellishment. It features a beaded collar with historical references.
