HS25 Beauty Of Botanicals Blog

Inspired by the vibrant legacy of Victorian artist and explorer Marianne North, the Beauty of Botanicals collection is a joyous celebration of natural wonder and feminine artistry. Drawing from North’s vivid depictions of exotic flora, the collection blossoms with painterly florals, vintage-inspired embroidery and archival craftsmanship.

At the heart of the collection lies a sense of joyful exploration. It is a botanical dreamscape brought to life through hand-painted blooms, broderie anglaise, smocked lurex florals and sequin dandelion motifs.

The colour palette—rich in apricot, sugar pink, bay green, sky blue and pastel rainbow hues—is reminiscent of sun-drenched afternoons and wildflower meadows. A hero of the season, the Marianne print is a watercolour of lush, painterly blooms of paradise ; while the Rose Ditsy print evokes a romantic, floral reverie.

Crafted for dreamers and romantics, these ethereal styles are made for storied summer travels, flower-strewn garden parties and joy-filled celebrations.

As part of Needle & Thread’s enduring commitment to sustainability, 90% of this collection is made from sustainable materials, including 100% recycled sequins.

High Summer ’25 is available from April 2025, in sizing from UK4 to UK24, with pricing ranging from £125 to £725.
