What Ghost London is known for

Ghost London launched four decades ago and makes women's contemporary clothing with a vintage feel. Its viscose fabrics are woven exclusively for the label, and its prints are designed in-house each season. Almost every garment is garment dyed, cut oversize in greige cloth and boiled so it shrinks and takes a deeper colour. The finished pieces can be machine washed at 30 degrees.

Ghost London launched four decades ago and now works as an established house for women's contemporary clothing. Its collections keep a contemporary vintage feel, with feminine lines and modern silhouettes alongside signature garment dyed pieces. Every fabric is produced and woven exclusively for the label from viscose yarns, and every print is designed in-house each season in the same vintage-inspired spirit. The garment dye process defines the house. Each piece is first constructed in raw greige cloth and cut several sizes larger than its finished size. The made-up garment is then boiled at high temperature, shrinking as it takes the dye, which gives the viscose a softer, more fluid hand and a deeper colour than piece dyeing. The same process makes the clothes practical to own. Almost every garment, bridal wear included, can be machine washed at 30 degrees or washed by hand, then reshaped while damp and steamed on the reverse if needed. The range runs from tea dresses and slip dresses to separates and knitwear, together with a wedding collection that includes bridesmaid dresses, all sold from the label's own online shop.
