London Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2008/09 this month is the next exciting project for Ghost & Lola. Designer Kim McClintock will travel to London to show her latest collection, "Nights at the Circus", for the second time to London’s Fashion elite. The collection is dense with literary allusion and divinely detailed in its construction. Referencing the spectacle, colour and performance of the carnival, "Nights at the Circus" is baroque in its splendour, vivid, beautiful and intense as a dream that haunts for days...





The Mr. Rose Spring Summer 2007/08 collection of luxurious women’s shirting and accessories pays homage to the great women of the sideshow with a campaign highlighting the spirit, colour and energy of this vibrant société. This season finds Mr. Rose enjoying clean lines and neat, elegant proportions while maintaining the focus on exquisite natural fabrics, precise cut and detailing. While continuing to focus on the purity and freshness of a beautifully tailored white shirt, Mr. Rose also promises a subtle foray into colour, moving slowly through a palette of musk and ice blue to tiny gingham checks in lemon and grey.
