Snug Seperates

Autumn is my favourite time of year for dressing up and stepping out. The air smells fresh, the best parties are happening and it's a perfect excuse for a wardrobe overhaul!
Vivien of Holloway retro separates are a wonderful way to stay snug and stylish in the colder months. Our Pencil Skirts are ideal for the everyday femme fatale - cut to gently cinch your waist and tightly skim your hips for an hourglass silhouette any 1950s starlet would envy! I particularly love the Navy Plaid Pencil Skirt paired with its matching Swagger Jacket.

Sweet Swagger!

Wiggle Ready!

We're really excited to be expanding and restocking our selection of 1940s Swing Trousers. Can't wait? There are still sizes left in the thicker materials which are perfect for the crisp weather. There is no better way to wear our Trousers than with a sharp, smart Raglan Blouse. There are so many colours and patterns to choose from, I'm always spoiled for choice!
Another gorgeous way to layer up your ravishing retro garments is with a Bolero. In a variety of prints designed to match our Halterneck Circle Dresses and Halterneck Pencil Dresses, throw one of these beautifully cut boleros on and stay smoking hot at cool events.

It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that Swing!

All-new Winter Warmers!

Marilyn Monroe & Jayne Russell in 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' 1953

With a wiggle in your walk, a twinkle in your eye and a hot toddy in your hand; you'll be the very essence of cool winter chic with our gorgeous reproduction Swagger Jacket!

Perfect teamed our brand new, matching, lined pencil skirts, or mix with a block colour skirt or even our crisp denim jeans and ballet pumps for an ultra chic casual look that even Audrey Hepburn would envy! This style classic is sure to feature heavily in your winter wardrobe.

The classic 'swagger' shape was first created in the mid 1930's, and was to become more widespread during the Wartime period. This loose-fitting style was soon to take on a much more creative look with the re-introduction of fabrics -particularly in Britain- after rationing ended in 1953. Coupled with the sleek, wasp waisted lines of the 'New Look', the swagger coat was to become an instant classic, gracefully draping with its swing-sweep and stylised cuffs.

With all this in mind, Vivien of Holloway have faithfully reproduced this beautiful 1950's classic. In a stunning selection of heritage-style plaids, as well as plain black; each jacket is exquisitely lined with luxurious crepe satin in contrasting colours. Plain wool highlights the heavily stylised detail of the deep shawl-style collar, and two simple slanted pockets either side of the opening add a touch of practicality. All this adds up to a wonderful item that is both practical and glamourous!

But that's not all; we've introduced the new wool plaid fabrics to a new range of our classic, high-waisted pencil skirts.

And we've listened to our -always welcomed- customer feedback; these new skirts are to be lined as well!

So wrap up warm and cosy this winter, and enjoy our new Swagger Jacket and Lined skirts!
