John Lewis is a great partner as it stands for quality, and is a trusted staple in everyone’s lifestyle.”

However it isn’t only Alice that is exited about the collaboration, Jo Hooper, Head of Womenswear Buying, John Lewis is also passionate about the partnership, “Working with Alice to create Somerset by Alice Temperley has provided us with a unique opportunity to launch and build an entirely new and exclusive brand. We have worked incredibly hard on the quality, design and fabrication to ensure it meets the high demands of both Alice Temperley and John Lewis customers.”

The collection comprises of 60 pieces and features version of all the signature Temperley pieces that customers have loved over the past decade: from her leopard-print knits and floaty boho dresses, to Victoriana blouses and military jackets.

Prices range from £29 for a scarf to £1,000 for a sheepskin coat, so there is something for everyone if they want a piece of Temperely. The collection is set to arrive in John Lewis stores nationwide and online on September 4, accompanied by campaign images starring Lily Donaldson.
