Established in 2005 by Anami & Janine, they have been producing two collections a year and since its start has gone from strength to strength. The girls met at Portobello Market where they both worked part time. Janine had just graduated from
Cordwainers College where she had been studying accessories and Anami,
who is self-taught, has been designing and producing small collections
for ten years prior. Their love of vintage clothing was their drawing
point, and with their own unique and individual styles, began designing
small capsule collections of vintage inspired dresses.
Those
who love a sense of quirkiness with a strong feminine touch covet their
unique pieces. And that would certainly include me! I met Janine at Spitalfields Market about 8 years ago and have watched the company grow in confidence year upon year. As such it is a real pleasure to add these gorgeous printed dresses to our rails and to be able to offer our customers something so special.
Anami & Janine dresses have appealed to women as
diverse as musicians Regina Specktor and Florence Whelch, celebrity
Danni Minogue, tv presenters Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby,
actresses Julia Stiles, Sharon Horgan and Neve Campbell, royalty Laura
Parker Bowles and novelist/journalist Rachel Johnson. Accentuating the
feminine shape, Anami & Janine's aim is to design for all shapes and
sizes. Their dresses make you feel feminine and sexy, their forte is
undoubtedly the wrap dress but with each season brings new shapes and
feminine prints.

| Mermaid Scallop Wrap Dress 115€ |
My favourite for this season: The Mermaid Scallop Wrap Dress embodies all that is feminine.
An updated take
on our classic wrap pleat. The mermaid print arouses visions of a
summer’s day with angelic mermaid swimming in a myriad of sea
turtles, seahorses, and starfish in a colourful seascape pattern. The
cut of this dress ensures that all your best assets will be complimented
while your least best camouflaged. The London Assembly love the chic 3/4 length sleeves -
and the fact it works equally well with flats or heels. Feminine
scalloping around the arm and neck with a concealed tie in the bust
allows you to control the depth of opening. A must have staple for any
stylish women’s wardrobe. Available in 5 tropical colourways tangerine,
black, ice creme, sea green, grey. Machine wash 30 degrees. 100% viscose
crepe de chine.
In our humble opinion Anami and Janine's dresses are an investment and should be on every girl's wish list.
