Born in Beruit during Lebanon's Golden Era, Rosa Maria was often captivated by the jewellery collected by her parents on their travels. She first began to create her own jewellery for her own enjoyment, keeping in mind the fascination & beauty she had been presented with as a child. By mixing materials in an unconventional manner & using a wild array of stones, such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, tourmalines & topaz, an avant-garde aesthetic was soon established & Rosa Maria began to work more seriously as a designer. It is like a puzzle with someone putting the bits together to create different combinations she says of her work. Dedicating her jewellery to a person that has character, style & personality, the story that reflects Rosa Marias unique designs continues within this collection. ...

Award winning Scottish womenswear designer Holly Fulton has never been one to shy away from colour & prints & her Spring Summer 2013 collection is no exception with rich colours & patterns in tactile fabrics bursting from the catwalk show. Parading in rows of four at the opening of the show, models adorned in oversize floral embellishments & the sugariest shades of candy pink & turquoise epitomized 1950s Americana with a lashing of 1960s cheek. The collection is arguably one of Holly Fulton's most laid back & therefore wearable collections yet. With Vogue editor Alex Shulman referring to Fultons past collections as beautiful pieces of art the latest offering of easy separates has an overall more relaxed aesthetic. Day dresses, printed cropped trousers, floral embroidered macs, raffia skirts & tailored fifties style jackets, T-Shirt dresses & sweatshirts all entwined with a flurry of climbing rose motifs, applique embroidery & sequins. The collection was a carefully crafted combination of the delicate & the robust with lightweight silks, leathers, heavy duty plastics & basket weaves. Bold print infusions of stripes, checks & mosaic tiles offered the undeniable Holly Fulton stamp, reminding the audience who is the master of print & embellishment in womens fashion. In conclusion Holly Fultons latest offering is innovative, impossibly fun & utterly wearable. Shop the Holly Fulton SS13 Collection. Read all about the Holly Fulton SS13 Collection in our Blog. ...

Artist, milliner, genius, mentalist, whatever you think of Philip Treacy OBE there is no denying his success & influence in the fantastical headwear world. Adored by the elite of the celebrity world, Treacyscreations have been worn by everyone from Grace Jonesto Victoria Beckham, Lady Gaga, to Naomi Campbelland of course princess Beatricefor the royal wedding in THAT hat. After studying at Central Saint Martins in 1988 & with the endorsement of Isabella Blow, Treacy went on to design hats for the heavyweights of the fashion world, including Chanel, Givenchy, Alexander Mc Queenand Valentino. In 2007 he was awarded an OBE in recognition for his services to the British fashion industry, cementing him as one of the great influential British designersof our time. In September Treacy returned to London Fashion Week for the first time in twelve years to showcase his SS13 collection in collaboration with Swarovski. Inspired by Africa, the show used only black models including supermodels Naomi Campbell, Alex Wekand Grace Joneswho were each clad in clothing from the late king of pop Michael Jacksons very own wardrobe & strutting to a mix of the singers greatest hits. Lady Gagaopened the show, covered in a mysterious fuschia pink burka which collided both crazy & chic into the same concept. Despite the craziness of the catwalk aesthetic, Treacys millinery skills never failed to take centre stage. Mohawk helmets, crystal covered masterpieces, LED-lit body cocoons, egg shaped helmets, oversized fascinators, feathers, structured fabricsand over the top fabulousness galore which was all met with a unanimous roar of applause. When asked why he loves designing hats for English women, he stated, Hats are part of the English culture, part of the language, part of the landscape. There is a fearlessness attached to Englishness. They look very conservative in their tweed hunting suits, but they sure dont want a conservative hat on. England is about possibility. & at the same time fashion is about dreams. The Swarovski crystals, for instance that I am using in my recent collaboration are the very stuff of dreams. They are the essence of possibility. ...

Givenchy, born in 1927, was one of a handful who studied at the knees of the greats in the creative hotbed that was postwar Paris. He worked alongside Pierre Balmain & Christian Dior at the house of Lucien Lelong, then honed his skills as an assistant to Elsa Schiaparelli. In 1952, Givenchyfounded his own house, with an accent on polished separates for a modern-day woman. The look was one of understated chic-feminine, but not flamboyant. In 1988, Givenchysold the company to the French conglomerate LVMH, retiring seven years later. The peripatetic John Galliano was Givenchy's immediate successor; he was followed by Alexander Mc Queen & then by Julien Macdonald, who helmed the house from 2001 to 2004. The current creative director is Riccardo Tisci. In his plaid shirts & sneakers, he may seem like an unlikely heir to the impeccable Givenchyhimself, but Tisci has been steadily winning over the critics. ...
