Erdem Pre-Fall 2021 Collection Honors Nancy Mitford's Independent Woman Spirit

Erdem Pre-Fall 2021 Collection Honors Nancy Mitford's Independent Woman Spirit

Erdem’s pre-fall 2021 collection is heavily influenced by designer Erdem Moralioglu’s reading of ‘Love in a Cold Climate’ and the “formal casualness” of Nancy Mitford’s own wardrobe. Photographer Ina Lekiewicz decamped to the grounds around Gunnersbury House, with models Bimpe Onasanya, Charlotte Robinson, Devon Ross, Ikram Abdi Omar and Zoë Kezia prepared to create a freshly-imagined vision of British history.

Erdem’s More-Inclusive Sizing

Vogue’s Anders Christian Madsen notes that the inclusion of model Charlotte Robinson, a UK size 16, for the lookbook Erdem continues the brand’s more inclusive sizing efforts launched in the prior resort collection. The majority of pieces in the collection are now offered through size UK 22.

“There’s a great power in being able to dress lots of different women. I would hate for someone to feel like they can’t be part of this world. When something is beautifully designed and considered, it should be able to work in different sizes. So why would you limit the sizes you offer?”
