Ship to Wreck by Ella Perry is a story-driven print collection exploring what it means for a woman to burn everything down and start over, chronicling the trials and tribulations that precede transformation. Inspired by emotive storytelling, the depths of the ocean, and the thrills and challenges of moving forward no matter the cost, this A/W ‘27/28 collection of sophisticated womenswear prints will empower the wearer to embrace every chapter of their story on their way to becoming themselves.

Pulling inspiration from many trends, this collection recognizes and expands upon a few common threads to reflect the inner world of its audience – triumphs of imperfection and craftsmanship, the ocean as a setting for self-exploration, the urge to rebel in uncertain times, and storytelling as a driving force. This particular tale of reinvention follows a maiden tethered to a ship whose path she didn’t choose, and how she transforms after the realization that one strike of a match can change everything. Through traditionally illustrated motifs, the tension between growth and stagnation plays out on the fabric as rope and ocean plants intertwine. Intended for timeless, high-quality garments, these prints will accompany the wearer through multiple stages of life until, like folklore, they are passed down to the next generation of women writing their own stories.
