Worn by rebels and royals alike, woven wool timeless tartan pieces pay homage to the 16th century, symbolizing identity and heritage. They are a staple in Moda’s winter wardrobe.

It wasn’t until the 1970s that youths began acknowledging the political representation of the pattern and started wearing it 'as a finger up to the establishment,' very much recognizing its political power," says Mhairi Maxwell, Curator of Modern and Contemporary History.

BOHEMIAN BOND IBIZA

THE LOVE DRESS

Bohemian Bond Ibiza is a family-founded slow fashion studio, that carefully curates hand-sourced lace pieces on the magical White Isle. Jessie May Young, an aspiring designer with a touch of 70s flair, is a must-have in Moda's closet for achieving timeless design, merging Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks with hippie-chic looks.

The enchanting versatility of the pieces meant that the brand was a wonderful fit for the epping forest editorial. The ‘Love Dress’ was the perfect last seam to our fabled forest story.

In the heart of Epping Forest, we curated a story that echoed our ethos of managing a collaboration that makes eco-conscious choices. We orchestrated a space for the creatives to weave their talents and energies into the narrative of every enchanting chapter.

With love, Moda
