Mary Poppins-style inspiration

16 January 2019

If you watched Mary Poppins Returns recently, you’ll have noticed the exquisite sets, design and costumes. We’re currently imagining how to recreate the dreamy kids’ nursery, complete with cast-iron beds and old-fashioned prints. Multi-award-winning costume designer, Sandy Powell, is the talent behind the awe-inspiring fashion (she also created the costumes for The Favourite) and we think she deserves the Oscar for best costume design at the Academy Awards on 24 February. Happily, the beautiful vintage costumes adorned by the three children who feature in the film are a little easier to imitate with the help of a pair of classic brogues, a Peter Pan collar frock and the winning combination of braces, blazer and bow tie, all stocked here at Next. If your kids loved the film, they will enjoy trying to recreate the whimsical and oh-so-British looks. Practically perfect in every way.
