In the six years since it was established as an “insidery” capsule collection for founder Susie Cave’s friends,
The Vampire’s Wife has become a “cooler go-to” for the red carpet, collecting fans from A-list stars to fellow models. Look at styles like this The Sky Rocket dress and it’s not exactly hard to see why; spun from a bespoke wool-blend lamé, it’s flounced with chevron-shaped tiers of ruffles around the floor-sweeping the skirt. Fully lined in silk that’s stitched with golden thread, it’s certainly worthy of an award.
