New York

Hi, as I write this, we are sitting on the rooftop of Soho House in NYC having a quick lunch before we carry on getting things ready for the press event tonight. Last night we had a shopping event here. Fantastic evening, we met lots of customers, the room looked fabulous, the dj played our favourite music, the soho house team was, as always, fantastic. A really great night and thank you to all the people ... Read More...

We are doing both a shopping evening as well as launching the Autumn Winter collection to the press so we have lots left to organise. We're looking forward to our trip as New York is one of our ...

Regards

Hi, it's been 5.5 years since we launched Isabella Oliver. Before that Geoff and I (Baukjen) worked in corporate environments (Vanessa always in fashion). Anyway, you would sign off an email with "Regards". If you got on with someone really well, you'd perhaps sign off with "Kind regards" or "Warm regards". When we launched IO, we'd sometimes get emails signed off with "name x". It was always people in the media or pr. Then you would ... Read More...

Next week we're doing the same event in ... Read More...

Last week

Hi, Baukjen here. Last week was a massively busy week. We were running around getting things sorted for our evening tonight at Soho House in London and preparing things for our New York trip later this week. Also we had an enormous amount of orders, perhaps record amounts and the teams worked very hard to fulfil them all. People from all departments went to help (thank you) and people came in on Saturday to try to help ... Read More...

Another way to wear The Sevilla Dress

How great does our PR Executive, Lucy look wearing The Sevilla Dress on her way to a meeting?!! Just another great way to wear sheer- day or night- belted with opaque tights, heels and a tailored coat and a slick high pony tail. We also love it with a long cardigan worn over if it is a bit chilly. I had better get one on order for myself! I am going to get the Berry ... Read More...
