Nobody’s Child in vintage-inspired collab with Lisou

In a new collaboration, fashion brands Nobody’s Child and Lisou have co-launched a collection inspired by 1960s/1970s British pop culture.

They’ve produced a “bold, joyful and unapologetically fun” 18-piece collection that “reimagines vintage silhouettes in premium fabrics and exclusive prints” gleaned from the Lisou archive.

That means the line’s rooted in Lisou founder René Macdonald’s “symbolic print traditions” of her African heritage, bringing together “a rich tapestry of hand-drawn prints” created in her London studio.

Within the “maximalist collaboration”, tailoring is key, with miniskirts and wide-leg trousers paired with sharply-cut blazers, designed with nipped-in waists and premium linings.

Corduroy and velvet mini dresses are cut low and styled over striped long-sleeve tops and blouses with statement collars.

Hero pieces include bias-cut column maxi dresses with backless silhouettes, drop bead detailing and scarf-style necklines, appearing in jewel-toned greens, cherry lacquer harlequin prints and rich purples.

The ‘Jay’ jumpsuit in magenta makes a bold statement with its one-shoulder cut, flared leg and exaggerated sleeve, described as “a standout party piece”.

Outerwear includes the ‘Cameron’ coat in double-faced wool and styled in an oversized cocoon shape, finished with darted cuffs for added volume.

Jody Plows, CEO of Nobody’s Child, said: “Lisou is a brand we’ve long admired for its playful use of colour and print. Collaborating with René and her team has allowed us to explore new creative territory and offer our customers a premium range of beautiful, considered pieces to be worn forever. This collaboration brings together the best of both worlds – Lisou’s spirited flair and our commitment to beautiful clothing for everyone.”

The collection, with prices ranging from £69-£299 in sizes 4-22 (XS-XL), is available at selected Nobody’s Child stores and via its website.
