What is your Favourite piece of RIXO?
I really love the Evie dress in Vintage Daisy Green, it’s also in the bridal section as an option for bridesmaids which I think is genius.
What INSPIRED YOU to start cOLOURS OF ARLEY?
Before starting Colours of Arley in 2022, I worked as an interiors and portrait photographer, and I love documentary and storytelling. By creating a bespoke brand, a place people can choose their own stripes based on personal memories or spaces, I combined my passions. Colours Of Arley offers a unique service, creates fun content for our stripey stories and connects with other creatives on exciting projects. It’s such a buzz seeing the bespoke stripes people choose and discovering the reasons behind their choices.
How has it been to work collaboratively with rixo & Gemma on the flagship store?
RIXO was a dream brand fit for us; female-founders, forward-thinking and always using vibrant colours as part of their playful aesthetic. Gemma has such a clear vision and a great eye for detail, and it was really inspiring to work alongside her for this journey. I can’t wait to see where she goes with Cúpla Studio.
