Brand to Watch-Tephi by Chessie Grievson

Tephi Jasmine Shirt

I wanted to let you in on a new brand I’ve recently discovered. The last two weeks have been a mad scramble to find some stunning festive looks for NYE and in a haze of peplum hems and sequinned shoulders I stumbled across the fabulous Tephi clothing range. Chessie Grievson’s label boasts timeless designs to be treasured and her clothing has been spotted on everyone from Poppy Delevingne to Florence Brudenell-Bruce. Intrigued, I interviewed the lady behind the brand to find out more.

1)      Chessie, how would you describe your signature style? 

Reebok classics and my maxi blue blazer.

2)      What is the inspiration for your latest collection?

3)      Who wears Tephi? 

Sartorially minded, stylish females who love well-made, unique pieces that they can wear season after season.

My mum’s Turkey, cosy slippers and a big fire.
