With her signature blue hair and inimitable fashion flair, meet our Christmas campaign star Coco Fennell
Inspired by vintage Americana and iconic labels like Ossie Clark and Biba, Coco Fennell is a celebrated British fashion designer celebrated for her fun, feminine, and retro-inspired designs.
Known for her ability to blend vintage influences with modern flair, Coco’s journey into fashion began with a deep passion for creating clothes that empower women and make them feel confident.
Coco launched her eponymous label, Coco Fennell, in 2011 at 22 whilst studying graphic design in London. The brand quickly gained attention for its playful yet elegant aesthetic, characterized by flattering silhouettes, bold prints, and timeless cuts. ‘I wanted to design clothes that were fun but above all flattering,’ she says.
Coco’s designs are beloved by style icons who embrace individuality including Rihanna, Kylie Minogue (she loves the retro jumpsuits), and Rita Ora. Coco’s pieces are accessible yet distinctive, catering to women who want to stand out in both everyday wear and special occasions. This makes her a perfect match for Lulu!
Some of Coco’s pieces have also appeared in Oscar-winning sister Emerald’s movies. Fans of Promising Young Woman will see vengeful protagonist Cassie (played by Carey Mulligan) dressed in one of Coco’s rose-printed and waist-cinching dresses (which subsequently sold out after the film’s release).
In our Q&A, Coco shares insights into her creative process, the inspiration behind her collections, and – of course – how she styles Christmas, chez Coco.
