The British label - named after Beetlejuice character Lydia Deetz - was established by sisters, McQ and Matthew Williamson freelance designer, Amy Currie and Vogue's Lauren Milligan with the first collection landing in Harvey Nichols in January earlier this year. Its aesthetic centres upon a playful approach to darkness; colourful prints infuse gothic with irreverent humour - some of which are based on a harmless, dysfunctional family of skeletons, with members including lovebirds Clarence and Gloria, married couple Mr and Mrs and intellectual beauty queen Miss Ogny.
"Deetz pieces stand up by themselves as a total look," continued Kavanagh. "They have a distinct handwriting. The Deetz customer is confident in herself and enjoys a contemporary edge."
A former Scottish Fashion Award nominee (Currie is from Glasgow), the label is currently up for the Scottish Style Awards's Best Womenswear accolade - with the winners revealed at a ceremony this weekend. While Deetz is still sold exclusively at Harvey Nichols in the UK, the brand has also received international acclaim and is soon to be sold at Avenue 32 - as well as American retailer Intermix, where it will sit alongside luxury labels such as Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney and Proenza Schouler.
Take a look
