'The Last of England’ skirt, complete with a scissor motif, takes inspiration from the final scene of Derek Jarman’s 1987 art-house film. It ends with Tilda’s character, The Maid, mourning her executed husband on Dungeness beach. Diamanda Galás sings as The Maid, dressed in a bridal gown, screams and tears at her dress with industrial scissors. The image is breathtaking.

HADES studio collaborated closely with Swinton at every step of the design and manufacturing process. This process culminated in a collective June visit to the HADES manufacturing factory in Scotland, where Swinton met with the craftspeople who create the knitted jumpers and scarves in this collection.

'The Last of England’ skirt has been constructed from 100% cotton in Somerset, England by Anna and Alla. The ‘Last of England’ skirt forms a bold set with the accompanying cardigan with matching motifs.
