With a new adaptation of Nancy Mitford’s The Pursuit of Love on our screens, the peculiarly Mitfordian combination of ballgowns and homemade knits look appealing again
. “My theory is that it’s a lot to do with The Pursuit of Love. It reimagines them, as it were, and creates what I would call the Mitford mythology wherein everything is submerged in charm.”The Pursuit of Love tells the story of hopeless romantic Linda Radlett, as narrated by her more sensible cousin Fanny Logan. Set between the wars, it is in part a thinly veiled retelling of Nancy’s life. The adaptation stars Lily James, Dominic West and Andrew Scott, and is directed by Emily Mortimer.
