The colours, soft tones of dove grey and light beige, convey calm and reassurance, with beautiful sage green accents adding warmth. Daily Word herself will be the campaign model for the collection, spreading hope and female empowerment through a video that depicts inspiring quotes from her poetry.

"The collection is incredible, using more sustainably sourced materials. I want this collection to ease, empower and move the wearer. I also want people to wear words that are close to their hearts. As we go through life, we need to be empowered to have the strength and confidence to achieve our dreams. You are the product of your life."
(Yrsa Daley-Ward, author, actor and storyteller)

"We were inspired by Ilsa Daly-Ward's strong and powerful poetry. We identified with this philosophy and were honored to work with her, who promotes such positive values. It has been a difficult time for so many of us, and with this collection we want our customers to rediscover their sense of self-love and self-care. We are thrilled with the modern clothes and undeniable positivity and hope our customers feel the same way."
