I design for me, things I love to wear; something a little bit different but utterly wearable and easy, with as little making-up as possible. I love the idea of one size fits all, so my designs are informed and constructed with this in mind.

CHAIN REACTION worked top-down then adding sleeves and collar. Lots of loops create warmth and 3D texture to this statement jumper. CR is very flattering as it drapes delicately and flares out at the hips. The Cobblestone yarn (merino, silk and yak) gives a colour accent to my favourite design.

LUXURY MUST BE COMFORTABLE, OTHERWISE IT IS NOT LUXURY.
