Our Girl Michelle Keegan sure has come a long way since she walked the cobbled streets of Weatherfield as the ill-fated Tina McIntyre! With a flourishing acting career (Our Girl is set to return to our screens for a third series this autumn) it's a wonder that Michelle has time to take on other projects. Yet today sees the launch of her first ever collaboration with online department store Very.
The exciting new range offers 86 pieces across homes and fashion, all with the glam factor that you would expect from Michelle. Her homeware collection is a smorgasbord of luxurious on-trend pieces – including soft furnishings, bedding sets, accent furniture pieces and lighting. Reflecting the hottest trends of the season, there is a heavy presence of metallics, dusky pinks and tactile fabrics such as faux furs and heavy knits.
'We know that Michelle is a real style inspiration for our customer,' says Kenyatte Nelson, brand and creative director at Very.co.uk. 'We are extremely excited to embark on this creative journey together.'
