Thandiwe Newton wears ME+EM for British Vogue | As seen in Vogue
Award winning actress, Thandiwe Newton features in British Vogue's cover shoot this month wearing one of our best-selling pussybow blouses. Styled by Editor-in-Chief Edward Enninful, her look reflects Newton's dual-heritage, with our burst of purple providing a vibrant base for layers of culturally indicative patterns.
“It was essential to her that the clothes used in this long-belated photoshoot reflect her dual heritage”, explains interviewer Diana Evans in Newton's digital feature.
Thus, “a length of African fabric bought from Shepherd's Bush” and the work of African designers have been “featured alongside European-heritage brands”. She continues, “things are changing, and she is one of the engines of change, a role model for little brown girls who want to be dancers or Hollywood actors or activists or one day see themselves on the cover of Vogue”.

The Silk Shirring Cuff Pussybow Blouse features an invisible zip neckline which Enninful has styled done up with the attached ties fashioned in a statement pussybow at the throat.
The elasticated shirred cuffs with elegant frill detailing have been designed to work perfectly under layers, with Newton wearing hers underneath a casually draped tweed blazer and colorful jumpsuit.
With pussybows having a moment, explore our range of statement blouses in a variety of prints and colors. Our Sporty Snake Print Blouse + Tie for instance, features a bespoke snake print designed in our London studio and contrasting rib cuffs that can be pulled up the arm for a more casual daytime feel. Our Camo Floral Feminine Blouse + Tie meanwhile, has feminine frilled detailing at the cuffs and neckline, whilst the removable tie offers multiple styling options.
Alternatively, as social plans begin to slip back on the cards, our Statement Pussybow Maxi Dress offers an elevated take on pussybow styling. Crafted from supersoft leaf green satin, the dipped hemline creates a stylish midi length at the front to visually elongate the legs, whilst a keyhole neckline and long ties can be used to create a statement feature at the neck.
