The Phiney Pet AW14 collection is cleverly titled Deptford Wives. The lookbook mirrors the bold, bright and modern designs of the clothing. Shot in studio against a bubblegum pink backdrop, it features retro props such as old TVs, telephones and lampshades as well as speech bubble embellishments that read, “I speak my mind” and “Over it!".
