The AW16 To The Moon and Back Collection which lands in September this year encapsulates the beauty of the night sky with dark midnight hues creating a perfect backdrop accented by playful prints.

Donna Ida Thornton said; “The To The Moon and Back collection represents my direction for AW16 and also embodies ten years of working in the fashion industry. When I started DONNA IDA, I never imagined that ten years later I would be unveiling my eighth collection of IDA and DONNA IDA to the world. AW16 is defined by rich beautiful fabrics anchoring the collection and I’m excited about new shapes which I know will continue to change the way we think about denim with Eliza, Sadie, Kitty Kat and Margot, all adding a cool, versatile and relevant edge to your modern wardrobe.”
