I’m so happy to finally show you the first finished sample. I say “finished” but there are still minor corrections to be made. You won’t see them though, it’s more about construction and the fit so what you see here it’s pretty much the end. It’s made of bamboo silk, a wonder fabric about which […]
Despite this title, a recent Dior campaign, where the fashion house gifted scores of influencers a re-issued saddle bag made it clear that an IT bag is alive and well. The bag promptly sold out and the photos of it flooded Instagram. Couple of years ago I would consider buying it. These days, I shudder […]
Those of us who ever read any books on how Parisian girls don’t get fat and swan around looking all cheekbones and tousled hair, could be quite susceptible to the myth of “I woke up like this”. I know I have been. “I woke up” with perfectly tousled hair and luminous skin. “I’ve just put […]
It was very exciting and very, very nerve wracking. As I was waiting for Ana, our sample maker, anxiety was taking my brain hostage. Has she understood my vision? And if so- will others believe my vision enough to want to be dressed by me? Ana finally arrived and when she took out all three […]
September chill in London made me think about a new coat. Our first line of coats will be released in time for next winter so this time around I will have to think about buying one. I’m very picky when it comes to my coats- they have to have big enough collars (fast fashion brands […]

It goes with everything- a white t-shirt, oatmeal cashmere jumper ro grey marl sweatshirt (sleeves always rolled up) and of course, a black dress. I love to wear mine on its own to make it more stand out. The Cartier “stack” has been all over […]
Doesn’t this shirt look just fabulous? It’s lustrous and luxuries yet utterly wearable. You could pair it with a nude skirt in luxurious suede for added sophistication or with jeans for more relaxed yet polished style. I’d love to make a shirt in bamboo silk I saw the other day. Lustrously white, like a marshmallow […]
In a previous post I was talking about a tweed suit as part of capsule wardrobe, which would go with different separates. A skirt would look amazing with bare, bronzed legs and Hermes style sandals or 90’s style dainty heels and simple t-shirt, or black, men’s cashmere jumper with rolled up sleeves. A jacket would […]
You’ve been thinking what to wear to this party for the past two weeks. It’s a big one, the one who got away is going to be there and you want to look your best. Your outfit from Net a Porter arrived on Friday and your friends all agreed you are going to look just […]
