Designer Spotlight: Joseph

Joseph Ettedgui launched his namesake label in 1983 after achieving global success with his London-based designer boutiques. His masculine-inspired designs in neutral shades brought the designer even greater acclaim, and his softly tailored pants were the ultimate in ’90s cool. Now under the creative direction of Louise Trotter, the label’s signature styles are being expertly reinvigorated for a new generation.

Spring lightens up with Joseph’s modern romance. Look for its signature tailoring softened up into feminine shapes, from airy seperates to whimsical dresses in blushing hues.
