Wear in the World Winter 2009

     
 
We would like to share with you what ‘wear in the world’ means to us…


Each season, our design and photography team decamp to a new destination that is appropriate to the collection, to photograph the new collection, in order to bring you a brochure and website full of new styles, vibrant colour & beautiful scenes. But where do we travel to capture these shots and why do we choose these locations?

Every season we choose a location that is appropriate for the collection, either because that particular part of the world has influenced the collection, or we feel that the location would be somewhere that you, our customers would want to visit. We want to share the beauty and experiences of these places with you. We know you tend to be seasoned travellers, but let us share some insight gained from the locals via our encounters and inspire your next weekend or holiday away.
