This weeks Film Club is about Inspirational films. It felt wrong to not address the growing movement across the UK and USA this week in support of Black Lives Matter. Therefore this week we would like to dedicate this Film Club to films that we find inspiring that are have been directed, produced or speak to the experiences of people of colour. Most of these films showcase uncomfortable truths and it is now more important than ever to recognise and educate ourselves on these issues. Below our Film Club we have included a reading list, documentary list and also links to petitions we feel are important.
Hidden Figures (2016)
Belle (2013)
Self Made (2020)

*Sample* Oscar Jacket in Plum Gentleman Print Olivia Gerrish (Norwich, GB)
Wonderful coat and dress.
My two gorgeous pieces the coat and the dress arrived today.
I love them !! Thank you so much.
I also love your country houses print so if you are going to do more dresses in that print I would love to buy one.
All I can say is well done and keep up the good work.
I have been a huge OA fan for years but this is my first dress and I am so incredibly happy with it. The quality and make is absolutely second to none, the fit is wonderful and exactly as described by the measurements in the charts provided, and Olivia was excellent with helping answer any questions I had while deciding which dress to purchase!
One thing I hugely appreciate is the attention to detail in the design of the dress. Everything has clearly been thought about so carefully; from pockets, fabrication, print design, zip closure and the shaping of the dress. I can't wait to wear my dress for years to come and hopefully add to my collection one day soon!
Olivia’s designs are so unique & have such an incredible historical feel. This piece is particularly opulent & wraps you in its wonderful feeling if history & time & myth & legend as well as in opulent fabruc, gloriously tailored into a stunning garment. Thank you!
Okay, I love a puff sleeve maxi dress but this print seriously takes it to another level. When I got the dress in the mail I was just staring at the pattern for nearly 20 minutes marveling at all the detail and hidden gems in the print. The detailing on the bodice is also just amazing. I’m addition to the neckline, the stitching of the bodice is really reminiscent of the lines created by stays and it looks so gorgeous on. This brand never disappoints
