Dolly Alderton x Terry de Havilland ACCESS ALL AREAS

This August, iconic British footwear brand Terry de Havilland has teamed up with award-winning author and podcaster Dolly Alderton to create a limited-edition collection of statement shoes. Set to launch on 25th August 2024, this collaboration brings together the best of both worlds: Terry de Havilland’s bold, signature designs and Dolly Alderton’s love of fashion nostalgia.

A Collaboration Rooted in Fashion History

The partnership between Dolly Alderton and Terry de Havilland is a natural one, born out of a shared appreciation for timeless style. Dolly’s connection to the brand goes back to her teenage years when she first discovered Terry de Havilland through a photo of Bianca Jagger wearing the designer’s iconic platforms in the 1970s. That moment sparked a lifelong admiration for the brand’s daring, statement-making shoes.

As a long-time fan, Dolly has often been seen in Terry de Havilland’s designs, from past collections to current-season pieces. This collaboration is a dream come true for both Dolly and the brand, as it marks the first time Dolly has taken her passion for fashion into the world of design.

A Collection That Celebrates Nostalgia and Style

For this collection, Dolly took a deep dive into the Terry de Havilland archives, reimagining some of the brand’s most iconic designs with a fresh, contemporary twist. The result is a capsule collection of six stunning styles that pay homage to the past while looking forward to the future.

Inspired by the glamour of the 1970s and Dolly’s love of fashion nostalgia, the collection subtly references style icons like Bianca Jagger and ABBA. Hero pieces include a chic Mary Jane platform heel with an ankle strap, offering a modern take on the classic Terry de Havilland platform. Another standout is the Margaux wedge, reimagined with a unique wavy design that adds a playful touch to this iconic silhouette.

Bold Colours and Timeless Appeal

The color palette of the collection is just as eye-catching as the designs themselves. From a rainbow party heel in delicate suede to metallic aquamarine tones and soft pastel pinks, each shoe is a celebration of color and style. These bold hues make the shoes versatile enough to be dressed up for a night out or dressed down for a more casual look.

Every pair in the collection is a nod to the 70s, reinforcing Dolly’s vision of blending vintage inspiration with contemporary fashion. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Terry de Havilland or discovering the brand for the first time, this collection is sure to add a touch of glamour to your wardrobe.
