This autumn, NRBY boasts four versions, two from Jo’s collaboration with the forever-leaping Royal Ballet principal Marianela Núñez, 10 percent of the proceeds from which will be donated to The Royal Opera House. I survived the heatwave in its exquisite rose-lilac Lise linen number (now £75), biked over when temperatures staggered towards 40.Īs I type, I am sporting NRBY’s sublime spring 2022 Dutch blue cord incarnation, about which I am deluged with compliments Hooper is queen of all things jump.Īs I type, I am sporting NRBY’s sublime spring 2022 Dutch blue cord incarnation, about which I am deluged with compliments.
