In Pictures: Nobody’s Child reunites with Elizabeth Scarlett for ‘Dear Summer’ collaboration
Womenswear brand Nobody’s Child has partnered once again with Elizabeth Scarlett for a second collaboration, drawing inspiration from the natural world for spring/summer 2026.
Titled Dear Summer, the collection unfolds in two chapters: ‘Letter to the Ocean’ and ‘Signature Blooms’. Together, they reflect both the calm of coastal settings and the vibrancy of summer, celebrating time spent outdoors.
The designs combine Elizabeth Scarlett’s signature embroidery with Nobody’s Child’s feminine silhouettes. Prints are influenced by the accessory brand’s original watercolour artwork, translated across a range of pieces.
The first chapter, ‘Letter to the Ocean’, focuses on coastal themes. Sun and shell motifs appear on dresses, co-ords, denim jackets and swimwear, evoking moments of stillness and connection by the sea.
‘Signature Blooms’, the second chapter, highlights seasonal florals. Soft, sun-washed palettes are used across blouses, dresses and separates, with details such as cutwork and lace trims adding texture.
Jody Plows, CEO at Nobody’s Child, said: "Following the success of our first collection, it’s been a joy to build on that creative partnership with a shared vision and a natural creative connection between our two teams.
"Together, we’ve created a collection that feels both fresh and familiar - blending Elizabeth Scarlett’s distinctive artistry with Nobody’s Child’s signature silhouettes in a way that celebrates nature, femininity and thoughtful design.
"This new chapter is a true reflection of our aligned values and our passion for creating pieces that feel both beautiful and meaningful. "
The collaboration reflects both brands’ emphasis on sustainability and craftsmanship, with pieces designed for longevity rather than seasonal wear.
As part of the launch, the brands will also donate £15,000 to the Blue Marine Foundation, supporting efforts to protect and restore ocean ecosystems.
Elizabeth Petrides, founder and Creative Director of Elizabeth Scarlett, said: “I’m so excited to see our second collaboration with Nobody’s Child unfold, marking a beautiful continuation of this journey.
"A tale of two parts -ocean trinkets and summer florals - celebrating long summer days; full of life, movement, and quiet moments of beauty in the natural world.
"It’s also an honour to give back to the wild through this collection, supporting our charity partner, Blue Marine Foundation, in their vital work to help protect and restore our precious oceans."
Known for its embroidered bags and accessories, Elizabeth Scarlett has established a presence across garden centres, gift shops and department stores. Alongside its design focus, the brand is also recognised for its charitable partnerships and philanthropic initiatives.
