London, 13th May 2025: Iconic fashion brand Ghost is launching a 30-piece curated collection showcasing the distinctive style of the Mitford sisters as portrayed in the upcoming drama series Outrageous. Set against the gathering storm clouds of the 1930s, Outrageous will bring the full, uncensored story of the infamous sisters to the screen for the first time in the six-part series set to launch on June 19th on U and U&DRAMA.
The summer Ghost | Outrageous edit merges the brand's signature vintage-inspired elegance with contemporary silhouettes, drawing reference from the 1930s styles worn by Nancy, Diana, and Deborah Mitford in the new series. The Mitford sisters were known for courting controversy, scandal, and outrage in equal measure, leaving an indelible mark on history.
The edit has been curated by Outrageous costume designer Claire Collins alongside Ghost's Head of Creative, Katelijne Kotz . With Ghost's signature vintage-inspired aesthetic at its heart, the collection draws on heritage motifs as well as modern cuts and silhouettes, ensuring the edit feels contemporary yet fashionably enduring.
Katelijne Kotz commented: "The Mitford sisters were known for their distinctive fashion sense. This edit is a reflection of their style , blending Ghost's timeless design with modern sensibilities to curate pieces that feel both nostalgic and contemporary.
Claire Collins added: Fashion plays such a huge role in Outrageous that we wanted to bring this to life for viewers with a brand whose aesthetic truly felt like it could belong in the 1930s with its timeless silhouette, modern and wearable grace, yet still worn by women today.
The collection was shot by Daniel Fraser, and styled by Sofia Lazzari, and is available to buy today from www.ghost.co.uk.Prices start from £89.
Highlights include:
Verity , £139
Refined, elegant and simple. A classic bias cut midi dress, Verity features a neat-pointed collar, centre front placket with statement gold buttons and gently gathered short sleeves. Perfect for everything from weddings and garden parties to balmy holiday evenings, it's a true investment piece.
Kallie , £179
Kallie is a bias-cut satin maxi dress with all the hallmarks of Ghosts signature slip dresses. Sophisticated yet sensual, it features adjustable spaghetti straps that cross at the back and a subtly scooped neck, this simple yet elegant style is the perfect option as a bridesmaid dress that can be styled up or down as wished.
Sadie", £149
Sadie features beautiful statement cutaway angel sleeves and plunging neckline to a flattering panelled empire seam bustline and classic bias cut skirt, this dress is the epitome of bold elegance.
Outrageous is the story of six aristocratic sisters who refused to play by the rules, their often-scandalous lives making headlines around the world. It is a cautionary tale that explores how and why these women, unwilling to conform, were so ahead of their time - and what drove them to take their very different, contentious and often dangerous paths. A family saga like no other, this is the Mitfords as they really were: unapologetic, flawed and utterly human.
Created and written by Sarah Williams (Small Island, Flesh and Blood, The Long Song), the drama is based on Mary Lovell's definitive biography The Mitford Girls. Produced by Firebird Pictures-one of BBC Studios owned production labels-and co-commissioned by UKTV and BritBox International. Executive producers include Elizabeth Kilgarriff, Matthew Mosley, Craig Holleworth, Helen Perry (UKTV), and Robert Schildhouse, Jess ORiordan, and Stephen Nye (BritBox International).
Bessie Carter (Bridgerton, I Hate Suzie) is set to star as Nancy Mitford, alongside Joanna Vanderham (Crime, The Control Room) as Diana Mitford, Shannon Watson (The Jetty, Say Nothing) as Unity Mitford, Zoe Brough (Casualty) as Jessica Mitford, Orla Hill (Stonehouse, A Confession) as Deborah Mitford and Isobel Jesper Jones (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, The Serpent Queen) as Pamela Mitford. Their brother Tom will be played by Toby Regbo (Belgravia: The Next Chapter, Platform 7), with Anna Chancellor (My Lady Jane, Trust) and James Purefoy (The Veil, Malpractice) at the top of the family tree as Muv and Farve.
