Inspired by scenes of a warm supper club, we briefed the creative team with imagery of puffy bread shapes, sharp glossy Japanese tiles and fondant flowers.

IWD: The Women of Brie Leon
To celebrate International Women's Day, we are delighted to introduce some of the all-female team members who make up Brie Leon. On a summer day in Newtown, we followed the team as they strolled down South King Street, which is home to both our showroom and office.
Mood board: Autumn Winter 23
The concept of colour was the source of inspiration with deep merlot, fuchsia dragon snaps, olive oil and lapis lazuli blue making up this lavish range. The mood of the collection is inspired by a Fijian holiday in winter. With puffy bread, sharp glossy Japanese tiles and fondant flowers inspiring padded knots, semi-patent fabrications and feminine floral motifs.
