These Loose Silk Lounge Trousers are designed, printed and made in England from our elegant silk twill. They feature an elasticated, mid-rise waistband and side pockets, and are French seamed throughout. The cut is wide and casual with a generous ankle-length hem.

The Celestial Steed was inspired by Italian Renaissance paintings and cultural events alongside beliefs and attitudes of the era; the dichotomy of idealism versus naturalism opening a portal to landscapes of fantasy, a ‘New World’. Inspired by Orso, the unrecognised equestrian star of the famous jousting tournament held by Lorenzo di Medici in 1469, the stark, strong motif of this design was largely influenced by the disarming boldness and architectural simplicity of Antonio Pisanello’s studies of horse heads in his famed Codex Vallardi, alongside equestrian works by Dürer, and various frescoes and masterpieces of the Renaissance era. The armorial elements, such as the sabaton shoe and the gauntlet all reference historical examples from the Renaissance, while the horse’s carnival attire was inspired by a German illustrated tournament book of the era. The inclusion of sheer fabric is an allusion to Renaissance artwork and symbolism; a juxtaposition of strength and delicacy. Similarly, the metallic armorial elements are holding dainty, fragile flowers; carnations symbolising devotion and divine love, daisies mirroring solar movements throughout day and night; the setting of the sun is inevitably followed by its rising, and there can be no more powerful symbol of hope and resurrection.
