Edie Campbell on Designing a Capsule Collection for Sunspel

LONDON What does it take to compel Edie Campbell to design a capsule collection?

“I actually like that once I went to the factory in Leicester it smelt like tea and biscuits,” the model told WWD about her recent enterprise with British brand Sunspel.

The opposite factor that convinced her was that the brand designed T-shirts for James Bond while still operating under a sustainable way of manufacturing.

The small collection she designed is made up of a series of pieces inspired by men’s clothing. Campbell was wearing the mustard yellow cable sweater on the Zoom call, which she jokingly admitted that she had worn for 4 days.

“Men have a quite reliable kind of uniform, after they placed on something well made it just looks good. I desired to translate that right into a women’s capsule. It takes slightly little bit of the legwork out of getting dressed,” she said.

Campbell, who turned 32 in September, confessed that “now an increasing number of I feel settled in how I dress and what I need to appear to be. The garments that I feel most comfortable in that I accurately express myself are menswear classics.”

Jarvis Cocker, Harry Wormwood (Danny DeVito’s character in “Matilda”) and David Bowie were the muses she looked to when designing the pieces, from the checked double breasted blazer to tweed coat; light knit polos and funnel-neck tops, and tailored trousers.

The gathering was shot by Campbell’s longtime collaborator Alasdair McLellan within the English countryside.

In her own personal life, she reminisced concerning the cool girl two years above her at school, who she would take styling cues from, resembling wearing shoes with no soles.

Nowadays she’s scouring eBay for a bargain find. “I discovered a few sellers who I’m assuming are factory seconds. This one seller may have the whole lot from Haider Ackermann to essentially great luxury things,” she said.

“I watch a lot trash TV. I’m a sucker for reality TV,” Campbell said, listing her favorites resembling “Married at First Sight,” “Love Island,” “Below the Deck” and “Selling the O.C.”

If she might be on one reality television show, what would it not be? “I’d actually perhaps prefer to be on ‘Selling the O.C.’ or ‘Selling Sunset.’ There’s an English version and I believe I might be doing that,” Campbell said.

For at once, Campbell can be selecting selling Sunspel.
