Alice Temperley ─ English Myths & Legends

The second monograph on British fashion designer Alice Temperley, highlighting the last decade of designs and inspiration behind her eponymous label, Temperley London.

The queen of magpie style, Alice Temperley’s clothing is coveted by the likes of Kate Hudson, the Kardashians, Naomie Harris, and the Duchess of Cambridge. Once sought-after for their indie-boho glamour, her looks have matured into a classic British line that pulls eclectic inspirations into polished looks. This book highlights the key moments that have shaped the last fifteen years of her brand and focuses on the personal moments that are connected with the growth and evolution that have earned her a celebrated and glamorous following.

While True British had its eye turned toward the effect Temperley’s work had on the fashion world, this book gives a more intimate view of the world that she inhabits, revealing both practical and sentimental sides of the artist’s generative process, and conveys the essence of how Temperley works as a designer and how her brand has come to gain such renowned success.
