Wright + Doyle is an interdisciplinary brand drawing on principles of a strong visual relationship between workwear, objects, landscape and garden. Their AW 24/25 collection draws inspiration from French artist Lucien Pelen. Through his self-portraits, nature merges with human. Pelen's artistic approach is to give a meaning to the natural balance of everything. Featuring fine tailoring wool, soft lambswool and Hopsack wool developed with master weaver Daniel, at his restored Welsh Mill, this season is ready to embrace the elements around us.

To launch this collection, Wright + Doyle will be collaborating with Ensō London on an exhibition. This exhibition, 'COLLECTION VI', which will feature select pieces from the AW 24/25 collections alongside installation works created out of natural materials, will open on the evening of 12 September 2024 and run until 27 September 2024.

We're delighted to announce that Ensō London will host a pottery x ikebana workshop in partnership with Vessels Retreats. During this three-part workshop on Saturdays 21, 28 September and Sunday 6 October 2024, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the tactile, meditative process of working with clay, while also discovering the profound connections between pottery, ikebana, and the natural world. You will craft your own handmade pottery vessel using a range of techniques, from hand-building to glazing. You will then use your beautiful unique ceramic vase as the foundation for a free-style ikebana arrangement workshop, where you will discover how materials will interact with the vessel to create harmonious connection.
