Today, Amanda Wakeley OBE launches an exciting new capsule collection with John Lewis, marking a new retail chapter for the celebrated designer brand. The range is rooted in Amanda’s signature Style DNA, translating her clean, fluid and confident silhouettes into beautifully crafted wardrobe pieces perfectly timed for the upcoming occasion season.

The partnership marks a natural meeting of minds, pairing British design excellence with John Lewis’s reputation for quality. The collection introduces the Amanda Wakeley aesthetic to a broader audience without compromising on craftsmanship. Featuring the premium fabrics and elevated trims synonymous with the designer, these versatile pieces are designed to work effortlessly from day to evening. 

Collection highlights include intricate lace-detail dresses, premium tailoring and drapey separates. A versatile colour palette of rich greens and warm saffron is lifted with cool blues and distinctive prints. With a focus on wrap details, wide-leg cuts and fluid silhouettes, dressed-up comfort is central to the collection. 

On the collection, Amanda says: “This collection is about opening the door to the Amanda Wakeley aesthetic - the same design principles, the same love of fabric, but made more accessible. John Lewis felt like the perfect partner: trusted, British and deeply aligned with quality and longevity. This partnership allowed me to re-express my design DNA in a way that feels very modern and very now. I have always felt passionately about timeless forever pieces that will slot into our wardrobes with ease… These are pieces designed to work hard, clothes that move with you, flatter you, and make you feel like the best version of you.” 

Rachel Morgans, Director of Fashion at John Lewis, says: “We are delighted to welcome Amanda Wakeley to John Lewis, a partnership built on a shared passion for design excellence. The collection elegantly offers pieces that are as special as they are wearable. It is a privilege to offer our customers exclusive access to Amanda’s world, specifically her impeccable precision in tailoring and the expert craftsmanship that defines the collection.”
