Words by Kate Sinclair
For Pre-Spring 2021 Erdem’s eponymous brand takes inspiration from Susan Sontag’s first novel The Volcano Lover, focusing on the life of the controversial Lady Hamilton, the notorious mistress of Admiral Nelson. As suggested by the title, it is a tumultuous love story, characterised by passion and excess, as can be seen reflected in Erdem’s latest creations. Exclusively for UNPOLISHED, Ina Lekiewicz captures the latest collection, styled by Rachel Bakewell.
The collection is now available to buy at www.erdem.com
