This is a piece of history that has inspired Malan Breton for almost a quarter of a century in fashion.

Before amassing a large following globally. Breton once served as an apprentice on Savile Row, then as an apprentice to one of the foremost couturiers in the history of fashion, who dressed many from the British Royal Family, Arnold Scaasi, who was trained under the great English couturier Charles James, and French Couturier Paquin. Breton was also honoured to present a collection of couture to HRH Prince Edward the Duke of Kent, at his 84th Birthday celebration in 2019, in partnership with the Parliamentary Society for Arts, Sports, and Fashion. Breton creates from the heart, embracing the individuality of each of his clients, clients he has cultivated for many years, and knows every detail about like a human encyclopedia. The diversity of sculpted garments emerging through his design process, have been seen on the covers of hundreds of magazines, and featured globally.

In creating this suite of three, Breton spent a year researching historical elements of Westminster Palace, the monarchy, and the history of the United Kingdom. His homage to the UK Parliament, a suite called the English Rose, is a visible foray to the senses, a dedication of hope to the world, and to a United Kingdom that has seen its heart tested by the current pandemic.
