If it hasn’t all sold out already, the new Celia Birtwell for Topshop is now available online and in selected stores.
The prints are more whimsical and the cuts are rather demure, and have more of 1940s influence than her previous Topshop collaborations. The pieces currently available online include several blouses, a couple of dresses and several scarves, all of course, adorned with one of Celia’s distinctive prints. The ‘Marie Antoinette’ print dress pictured here is one highlight of the collection and it costs £55.
View the new collection on the Topshop website. If you are too late to buy from Topshop directly, no doubt pieces will be popping up on Ebay soon.
