The Oasis store in Dundee's Overgate has launched its new Victoria & Albert inspired floral print collection as it welcomes the opening of the V&A Design Museum in 2018.
The collection is inspired by 18th and 19th century botanic prints in exhibitions from the iconic London museum, and styled into modern day must-haves such as relaxed kimono jackets, wide-leg high-waisted pants, floaty culottes and razor sharp A-line midi skirt.
Oasis Print Manager Daisy Spurrier said: "It’s been really inspiring to work with such beautifully painted florals and to imagine someone spending hours hand-painting them all those years ago."
In an additional collaborative twist, the collection also includes printed flip flops from Gandys, the footwear brand setup by two brothers who were orphaned in the 2004 tsunami. 10% of profits from all flip flops sold will be donated back to the brothers’ Orphans for Orphans charity that builds Children’s Homes across the globe.
The £80 million V&A Museum of Design, which will open at the Dundee's waterfront in 2018, will celebrate Scotland's history of design and also host touring exhibitions from the London V&A.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
