Alice Temperley, one of the most accomplished British designers working today, creates clothing that is coveted by the likes of Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Olga Kurylenko, Rita Ora, Poppy Delevingne, Helen Mirren, Adele, and Naomie Harris.

This book is conceived as a celebration of Alice Temperley's aesthetic and conveys the effortless decadence and handcrafted allure of her brand. This book highlights the key moments that have inspired the last decade of work; focusing on the personal moments that have shaped her brand. Filled with captivating photographs from Temperley London photo shoots and fashion editorials, ALICE TEMPERLEY: ENGLISH MYTHS AND LEGENDS gives an in-depth look into the inspirations and processes behind the creation of the collections. While her first Rizzoli book, TRUE BRITISH (2011), was a chronological story about the first 10 years of the brand, ENGLISH MYTHS AND LEGENDS gives a more intimate view of what defines Temperley London today and its evolution; revealing both practical and sentimental moments of the designer's generative history.

William W. ★★★★★

I’ve been flipping through this while my morning tea goes cold — the stories pull you right in, and the hardcover keeps its shape even after a few careless tosses in my bag. The designer’s eye for detail clearly carried over into the book’s layout, making each myth feel like a mini art piece.

Matthew ★★★★★

The binding feels sturdy enough to survive my kids flipping through it constantly, and Temperley’s take on British folklore brings the old tales to life in a fresh way. I’ve already read the chapter on King Arthur twice.

Violet K. ★★★★★

The illustrations of the myths are gorgeous and the retellings stay faithful without getting dry. I've been reading one story a night and it's become my favorite wind-down ritual.
