Who doesn’t love a high street collaboration? The heady mix of designer aesthetic at affordable prices is enough to send even the most grounded of fashion fans into a spin. Today sees the launch of the latest collection from high street titan John Lewis and cult British designer Mother of Pearl, who have created a capsule collection of 27 understated, elegant pieces ready to uplift every wardrobe, available from £45.

As with the previous collaborations, at the core of this collection is purposeful fashion, something Mother of Pearl designer Amy Powney is incredibly passionate about; pieces designed to stand the test of time in your wardrobe, while also bringing something refreshingly new for your sartorial satisfaction.

Mother of Pearl, a highlight on the London Fashion Week schedule, has been pioneering the way for sustainability without losing its trademark aesthetic of strong feminine silhouettes, bold prints and delicate details.

Enacting yet more positive change, this collection maintains all of those brand values but at high street prices. Lots of monochrome pieces, from a black boxy denim jacket to a white windowpane check midi dress, as well as seasonless blue denim pieces, looseline midi dresses, joggers and floral printed separates contribute to the collection’s longevity.

“Making beautiful pieces for the high street with the most sustainable fabrics and production is not an easy task,” says Amy Powney, creative director of Mother of Pearl. “But working with the John Lewis & Partners team has made this a reality.”

The collaboration is more relaxed than previous collections, offering softer silhouettes and more casual fabrics, but with plenty of pieces that are more workwear and occasion focused too. Whatever you are shopping for, here’s our edit of the must-have pieces.
