Two European style categories, and, have emerged as winners in the U. K. general election owing to, whose father became U. K. prime minister on Friday following win in the polls.
Until lately, Victoria Starmer, a attorney- turned- occupational doctor who works for the National Health Service, has kept a small account. But when she does phase out in people, she generally makes a speech in trendy, understated silhouettes in strong monochromes.
On Friday, for her Downing Street album, she chose a usb dress by Me+Em in brilliant purple, Labour’s unique color. She paired the costume, with its fitted neckline and slashed, draped arms, with a pair of silver slingback puppy heels.
The appearance was pleasant, loving and added a storm of warmness to a dark, rainy day.
On July 4, election night, she picked Me+Em when suddenly, donning a squarish cream jacket with elbow- length sleeves, and paired it with black, broad- leg trousers and white sneakers.
One of the many working people who has turned to Me+Em for day-to-day attire at affordable prices is Starmer.
Founded in 2009 by Clare Hornby, the tag opened three stores in New York this season, and is looking to expand further in the U. S. Hornby has described the brand’s strategy as “fashion Lego”, meaning that items should be able to multitask, level and work up season after season.
The company counts the, Helen Mirren, Amal Clooney, Olivia Colman and as buyers.
While Starmer has been wearing Me+Em by morning, she has been opting for night and more formal occasions.
For the Labour Party meeting and a theatre performance in October, Starmer took Lee’s clothes.
She donned Lee’s Dada clothing in dark for the event. At the push day performance of “Dear England” at The Prince Edward Theatre, she donned a complete look that included Lee’s Weimar cover, Oracle leading and Delphine trousers.
In an interview on Friday, Lee described Starmer as “a gorgeous lady, loyal, warm and graceful. We’re happy — and lucky — to work with her.”
Lee, who dresses an arty, intellectual, and celebrity crowd, said women often choose her pieces when they step into the spotlight and “when their voices are being heard.”
In 2022, the designer dressed the Princess of Wales ( then the Duchess of Cambridge ) in a forest green dress that sent the internet into overdrive. wore the gown to present the designer with the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British design.
Lee’s designs have also been worn by Gemma Chan, Phoebe Waller- Bridge, Alicia Vikander,, Ellie Goulding and Solange Knowles. Edeline Lee sells at Harrods, among other stores.
Lee, who earned her degree from Central Saint Martins and founded her own label in 2014, claimed that while all of her production is done in the U.K., she uses fabrics that resist wrinkling to allow women to “function at a high level” in the clothes.
In a past interview with WWD, Lee said she designs with a “future lady” in mind.
“Female identity is in flux in our generation: modern women live hectic, collaged lives. Women now are more beautiful, more powerful, more free, stronger, more aware, more capable than any other time in history”, said Lee, adding that she is always asking herself the question: “What is it to dress with true power, grace, beauty and dignity in today’s world?”
Now Lee is dressing that “future lady”, and Britain’s new first lady, too.
