Henrietta Ludgate

A supporter of slow fashion, Ludgate’s understated silhouettes are haunting in their simplicity and sophistication, with a slight retro sensibility, intonated more by her exquisite tailoring and attention to detail than anything else, she never the less maintains a distinctive and undeniably modern aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from Elsa Schiaparelli, and her surrealist imagery, Ludgate imbues her designs with a certain architectural sense of humor, through sculptural necklines and collars, standing in sharp contrast to the slender tailored sheaths they crown.

Ludgate, known for her structural aesthetic, and minimalist design, is also renowned for channeling her Scottish Heritage into her collection.  With the entire collection produced locally, support of Scottish craftsmanship is a vital component of her work.  The collection is crafted from the finest British textiles, in an artisanal approach to production, the result of which is an impeccable finish, and clothes that outlive trends and last a lifetime.
