Manifesto
Whether a burgeoning burlesque starlet or an innocent ingenue, ‘Lady, Behave!’ caters for every girl’s misadventures. ‘Lady, Behave!’ was borne from a desire to remind us of the time when women were ladies and men were gentlemen.

Muse of the Month – Daphne Guinness
The Lady has always had the biggest girl-crush on Daphne Guinness since spotting her in one of Vogue’s many photographs of her in their celebrity-at-play sections… Far too-cool-for school, with her platinum hair & its shock of black, fingers full of enormous silver knuckle-dusters. So, when The Lady discovered that Nancy Mitford was her great-aunt and that she grew up in an artists’ colony with Dali and the Surrealists, the crush grew to epic proportions.
