parties and “friendsmas” may be a no-go this year, but
we’re frankly looking for any excuse to get out of the pyjamas
we’ve been living in since March.

Step forward Lisou, the London-based womenswear brand that wants to
put a silky, slow-fashion spin on your Christmas wardrobe. Designed
in London and finished in Portugal, its treasure-box investment
pieces are perfect for the (three-household) party season. And
this, dear reader, is your chance to win a much-coveted £500 Lisou
voucher.

Tanzania-born founder and head designer
Rene Macdonald is a self-confessed vintage addict and bold
dresser. And it shows. Lisou is an unashamedly bright, modern-retro
affair. Throwback shapes – ruffled hems, billowing bishop sleeves,
kaftan maxi dresses – are created from bright, fine silks adorned
with house-designed patterns. Think metallic plisse, pussy bows,
voile printed with hearts.

Perhaps you’ll pair the ruched Lyla midaxi dress with a headband and face mask
in matching blue, rainbow-print silk. Or try the one-shoulder
Riva, a shimmering golden number. Our choice?
We’re channelling 70s vibes with the limited-edition Jade, a diamond-jacquard jumpsuit with a
cinching belt, subtly flared cuffs and a far less subtle collar. It
screams Saturday Night Fever in all the right ways.

Of course, Christmas is the season of giving. You’ll be glad to
hear that Lisou puts a portion of its profits towards supporting
healthcare and education for young Africans. On home soil, it runs
a creative competition between west London’s state
schools – winning students’ designs are printed on a Lisou silk
scarf and profits made from its sale go back to the school’s art
department.

So let’s get this party started.
