 castles in the air
 ‘you plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? lay frst the foundation of humility.’
 - Saint Augustine

 in greek mythology, nephele was a cloud nymph created by zeus in the shape of the
 goddess hera to test the lust of king ixion.

 hailwood’s summer collection is inspired by Nephele and other cloud nymphs that live
 in castles in the air.

 “the collection is understandably feminine, ethereal and pretty,” says hailwood. “the
 entire range has hidden depths, like looking for patterns in clouds and moving from a
 starting point of uncertainty to a realization of what you can see,” he says.

 there is a signature watercolour cloud print alongside hailwood’s ubiquitous cobalt blue
 and black, punctuated by fawn. illustrations include the graces dancing, coats of arms
 and castles nestled in the forest and atop cumulus, stratus and cirrus clouds.

 fabrics are silk, cotton and silk jersey; silhouettes are willowy and fitted, with delightful mini
 and 3⁄4 lengths.
