Inspirations, designs and catwalk images
English Eccentrics War and Peace Collection took its inspiration from the poignancy of a family on the verge of destruction: a dynasty unable to sense the massive upheavals in its country. The Collection is a celebration of the decadence and magnificence of the Romanov period: a Russia captured on the pages of Tolstoy’s War and Peace.
