Are you Lucy in Disguise?!

Lily Allen and her sister, Sarah Owen created a vintage-inspired standalone line, Lucy in Disguise, which officially launched in London last night (25th May). The collection includes for example maxi dress, a sparkly jumpsuit, and a retro mini sailor suit ( the 18-piece in total) and will be available at Shopbop in the U.S., Lane Crawford in Hong Kong, and Harvey Nichols in the U.K..

The line has a great website. I like the design and music on Lucy in Disguise’s website and the lips that fallows my every move. The intro movie is great and very interesting. I think that this is a great project and what else can I say: Well done to the team that has created Lucy in Disguise, especially to Lilly and Sarah!
