Joanie Clothing recently collaborated with print designer, Celia Birtwell, on a fashion collection – which sold out due to popular demand – and we can see why. 

In a bid to fill the Celia Birtwell x Joanie collection shaped hole in our closet, the brand has restocked the 14-piece limited-edition capsule, much to our delight. 

Can we get a woop-woop?

Celia Birtwell is one of the most influential textile designers of her generation. She was a muse to iconic artist David Hockney, and the creative partner of fashion icon Ossie Clark. Her distinctive designs shaped the fashion landscape of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, an era known for its artistic and cultural explosion, which she has called on for her Joanie Clothing collaboration.

So, when Joanie Clothing first teamed up with Celia, it sent fans into meltdown.

Celia is best known for her whimsical, ditsy florals, and bold, clashing prints, which she has injected into the timeless dresses and blouses in the Joanie collection.

This limited collection of 12 dresses and two blouses draws inspiration from the 70s era, as they boast a bohemian style, are made from environmentally conscious chiffon and silky satin-feel fabric, and emblazoned with bold prints, which can be worn time and time again. 

Fans of Celia’s work will be excited to see the inclusion of the romantic Marie Antoinette print, which was created in the early 1970s, as well as the Delaware print that featured on a number of Ossie Clark designs in the Celia Birtwell x Joanie collection.

Speaking about the collaboration, Celia shared: ‘When I was approached by Joanie, I was delighted to find that an enthusiastic company, run by sharp and savvy women who knew their market, was interested in using my prints.

We were able to sit down and discuss what sort of designs in which colours they thought would work best, and we discussed which clothes best suited which designs. It has been a very harmonious relationship, and I have thoroughly enjoyed working on the collection.’

The Celia Birtwell x Joanie collection will be available exclusively at Joanie Clothing, with prices ranging from £69 to £129, here are our personal favourites from the line.
