A fashion house based in London and New York is releasing a new collection inspired by facets of the Isle of Man.
Thea Bregazzi's Preen label, worn by celebrities such as Beyonce, is about to release its pre-Fall 2012 collection.
And, according to the company, a visit to the family home in the Isle of Man led Thea to create garments based on her grandmother's blue-and-white china teacups and her grandfather's love of motorbikes.
The new collection features dresses with a Wedgewood look and a Mongolian fur biker jacket.
