keeping it simple...

It's Saturday, so let's keep things simple.

Sometimes it really is best. Simple lines and shapes can make for a restful wearing experience and let the fabric and the cut do the talking.

Charlie May does this really well.  Even  before she launched her own label, her style blog, Girl a la Mode began in 2008 whilst she was working on her BA Fashion Design graduate collection showed her love of tailoring, minimalism and texture. 

Charlie May RTW with its contemporary minimalism aesthetic was launched in 2010 and continues to grow a devoted following. Born and raised in Devon she moved to Bristol to study Fashion Design at UWE. During her studies Charlie interned for Louise Goldin, followed by a move to London where she held a one year tenure with Thomas Tait.
