Around the world - Mary Katrantzou SS'13






"There is something nostalgic about this rectangular pieces of paper to carry so much significance" ... Once again Mary Katrantzou proved that she can turn ordinary objects into most ravishing prints. Inspired by postage stamps and bank notes from around the world Mary has put a stamp on this summer's trends.

Everybody Needs Handbags - Anya Hindmarch



Anya Hindmarch began her fashion career in 1987 in Florence, Italy. Inspired by a duffel bad worn by all Italian fashionistas she recreated it and sent it to Harpers & Queen magazine who featured it in one of the issues. She received 500 orders for the style and, so, her business began. She opened her first store in 1993 in Walton Street, London and has since progressed to over 50 stores worldwide with flagship stores in London, New York and Tokyo. Her handbags, which all feature the trademark bow symbol, are practical, sophisticated and timeless. Each design is characterised by beautiful craftsmanship and exceptional quality.
