Modern British Style: Dahlia

British clothing and accessories brand Dahlia was created in 2000 when Tracey - who would later be joined by sister Leigh - began to make London-inspired garments to sell on the famous markets of Portobello and Spitalfields.

Their quirky-yet-girly pieces soon caught the attention of buyers for the mighty Topshop, who began stocking their clothes. This resulted in the girls launching a website, and eventually opening their very own Dahlia boutique on Carnaby Street.
Dahlia's clothes are the embodiment of femininity, with figure-shaping tailored jackets and floral, playful dresses. Having acquired a loyal following, the brand moves forward with every season -  see this summer’s trends for nautical prints and polka dots. Pieces are feminine and edgy at the same time, and are further complimented by Dahlia’s accessories.




The accessory range comprises crochet scarves with intricate detailing and vintage-inspired jewellery that includes anything from rings to diamond and pearl styled necklaces, items that make a bold statement when paired with a playsuit for instance. Festival-goers will delight in their gorgeous hats, perfect for sunny days spent watching bands. Cool, edgy, and very London.
