An ongoing project with the Edinburgh-based designer, Kestin.
“We haven't been able to travel for inspiration, so we looked at what we have all around us - architecture, art, family. It’s not until you spend more time in an area and you take the time to really take it in and research that you appreciate what’s right under your nose. Persevere felt like a natural fit for the collection, the more I’ve discovered about my family and my heritage in the area the more I realise how connected I am to this Burgh. The synergy of Eduardo Paolozzi’s print work and the brutalist architecture in Leith has been a real discovery for me, and inspiration for colour and the embellishment in the collection which includes new quilting and embroidery techniques.”
- Kestin Hare on the inspiration behind the brand’s SS22 collection.
Murray was commissioned to create imagery for the SS22 look book along with traditional e-commerce flats and garment details.

“‘You can get to any burgh of Edinburgh in 15 minutes, but they might as well be a world away. Leith is historically the working-class part of Edinburgh; a port that was once the centre of heavy industry and naval docks - known for the darker side of life.’”
