We're excited that our special Whistles Range of 100% Silk Made in England scarves is out in time for London Fashion Week.  Inspired by the Royal Wedding (Night), the scarves are a cheeky Regal take on our ever Bondage Doll scarves. 


The 90x90cm squares feature a cheeky Queen wearing stockings and suspenders with her crown. 
The ornate border comprises of chains, tassels and mini regal dolls holding traditional sceptres and orbs.



These muted Union Jacks in grey and salmon are also available from Whistles in 90x90cm. 

  

These are all stocked at Whistles King's Road, St Christopher's Place and Hampstead.

WRITER SOPHIE WOOLLEY IN AGE OF REASON




We love these photos of writer/ actor Sophie Woolley wearing her Age of Reason Cecilia scarf.  They were taken by Liam Ricketts. Sophie is known for her acerbic  writing style, especially her one woman plays When to Run and Fight Face. Sophie also appeared as runaway bride Gabriella in the Channel 4 TV Series  CAST OFFS by Jack Thorne, Alex Bulmer and Tony Roche.

“She’s massively talented.” Irvine Welsh.

AGE OF REASON WALKS TALL for SAVE THE CHILDREN



 Age of Reason was invited by Grazia Magazine to the first ever  Save the Children mile long charity walk, part of  "Born to Walk Tall". The event today was raising awareness about much needed healthcare services worldwide,  and honouring the people who work in the field.   Save the Children aims to encourage groups around the country to organise their own  mile long walks to raise money for the 8 million children who die every year due to lack of treatment. 

The Fashion Mile photo call at No. 10. Note: Age of Reason's Ali Mapletoft beaming in her Anarchy Jack flag scarf. 

 Samantha Cameron headed up today's walk from No. 10 Downing Street to Somerset House alongside Dr Hajara Kera, a leading Nigerian midwife who works for Save the Children. The newly announced British Fashion Award nominees like Sarah BurtonChristopher BaileyChristopher Kane, Charlotte OlympiaErdem Moralioglu, and a handful of new designers (like us) joined the fun and flamboyant debut walk.  


Apart from everyone wholeheartedly supporting the cause, and wanting to contribute creatively,  there was also a sense of excitement at being allowed into No. 10 at all.  Nobody from fashion did a knickerless twirl or said anything too inappropriate on this official occasion. But we had a great time anyway!
