Excerpt
The driving force behind choosing fashion before any other career path was her love of the idea that you can make something beautiful out of a piece of cloth. “To think that you could transform your own shape and visuals made me fall in love with the idea of becoming a designer. It’s completely empowering and self-assuring to know you have a talent that comes from your mind, heart and hands.”
Merci Me’s mix of bold colours and prints paired with classic and feminine shapes make for a style you won’t find in other fashion brands. The latest collection features unique shapes and cuts and inspiration from her African heritage that embrace the female form. The colours, lines and structure of each piece create beautiful movement in every garment.

WEARING
In preparation and celebration of the sun coming out I’ve taken to dying my hair grey (a stylish interpretation of this fashionable stress) and I’ve been parading around town in brown (and beige and white). Perfect, because my MERCI ME LONDON wardrobe is prime provider of this look! I’m finding that the Calla coat with all its admirers is becoming a staple piece that I’m sure will be worn even when the season has completely turned. It’s meant to be a transitional piece; spring to summer and summer to Autumn but I’ll probably be wearing this coat pre, during and post season. I’ll even coin it the summer coat. It now exists, it isn’t a myth, no, in this season – temperamental London it’s fact and necessity!
CURRENTLY WEARING; (in order) Structured white Tee, Brown Calla Coat, White Hyacinth maxi skirt, Calla coat Coat.

How do they (as in those always stylishly ahead) stay stylishly ahead? It has something to do with Boutiques like Wolf & Badger and their insider magazine The SETT – a real gem for the fashionforward, trendsetting, directional dresser. We just happen to have our Queen Anne Lace up Trousers in the Miami Dreams editorial. Feast your eyes…
