MY EDITORIAL ON THE COVER OF VOGUE SPAIN


Warmth, feminine and strength.
AMAZING EXPERIENCE














Thank you Vogue Spain for featuring our Frida Inspired photographs on the cover !


Vogue chose their favorite images starring our wonderful model wearing the "hands on" skeleton necklace and earrings (must-have accessory for Halloween),the Frida Brooch and  necklace and The Art of Kissing earrings. We took inspiration from Frida's strong eyebrows leading to the use of fresh flowers and accessories in her hair, creates a warm, feminine feeling of strength.

It was important to highlight Frida's influence as a strong woman alongside elegant feminine. It feels great seeing the entire editorial (photographed and directed by me with the help of Joana Mason and model Harriette Debut) shown on a site as important as Vogue Spain!

THE PEACH DIVA


THE PONCHO FEEL
Starts getting colder! 















SATURDAY: Here we are, Natalia and I during the last days of October.

Everytime the weather starts getting colder I find myself searching for cozy sweaters and warm jackets in my wardrobe.
I bought this poncho last year from Primark. I love that it´s so warm and cozy, perfect for today's cold winter day.
My sunglasses are form American Apparel and I am wearing my Opening Ceremony ankle boots. 
On another note, I am completely obsessed with Natalia's 50's inspired style. I love her camel coat from American Apparel,XL platform creepers, and Rayban sunglasses. The rest of her clothes are from her amazing store in Bricklane, The Lazy Ones. To top it of, the matching rouge lips and peach hair are perfection.

FEATURED IN THE OFFICIAL TOPSHOP BLOG UK








--------------------------------------------------

I'm so happy to have been featured in the official Topshop blog Inside-Out

I completed a Q & A  discussing my Freedom for Topshop collaboration, the source of my inspiration, my creative history 
and what I imagined I would have been if not a jewellery designer. 

It was certainly thought provoking and I am so happy that Topshop is taking a further interest in the development of my work as well as admiring my style.

This is certainly another highlight of my week! 

You can now shop my new collection at Topshop's flagship store in Oxford Circus.

MY SISTER


GIRLS IN LONDON

DECORATION, MY NEW STORE AND INTERESTING PIECES. 






I was so happy to see my sister this week!

 She travelled from Spain to come and visit my new store, 
look at my new designs and have a long catch up. 
We also had time to go shopping, we even took an adventure around Shoreditch Highstreet,
visiting the galleries, vintage stores and coffee shops.
 Here we are in Shoreditch having lunch in one of the many coffee shops 
that pepper the Bricklane area. 

Have a sneak peak at the glasses my sister is wearing, they are a new design, but I can say no more as I don't want to spoil the new collection that will be on its way soon...Watch this space!









This image is of the interior of a vintage clothes and furniture store a few 
blocks away from my store in Shoreditch, 97-99 Sclater Street
We fell for the illuminous heart, and mirror made up of wing mirrors. 
The shop was like a treasure trove filled with obscure and interesting pieces. 
I could imagine filling my home with all the items that were being sold in that store.










Bea came at a great time as I wanted to change the interior of my store. 
She is not only talented within fashion , but she´s always been amazing with interior design. 
As you may all know she runs two boutiques in Spain that sell exclusive high fashion clothing. 
She helped me a lot and gave me great advice.  It was so great seeing my sister in London , 
we had so much fun, we talked non stop and continuously laughed, as we always do.

THE NEW CAMPAIGN















The Art of Kissing campaign celebrates the return of colour and the passion for Frida Khalo.  Frida Khalo was once famously quoted saying ‘I think that little by little I’ll be able to solve my problems and survive’. This quote certainly reflects the variety of collections that I have developed. 

Each design has been made in mind of a woman who is strong and persists in life. Encouraging individuals to be bold, resilient and expressive, just as Frida would have been.



The Lady Punk  snakes and The Art of kissing collection combines layering of pieces to create a statement look, brightening up any simple outfit. The collection brings together the thought of luxury fashion, with the dark qualities that often run throughout my collections. Strong eyebrows are back and I celebrated this by drawing on some classic Frida inspired make up. Frida had a strong style and we decided to celebrate it further by taking inspiration from her style and use of bold colours, feminine collars, strong statement pieces, earrings, necklaces and Frida Kahlo inspired brooches.

Sunday

FRIDA KAHLO AND THE ART OF KISSING








I just made this Frida Kahlo illustration wearing " The Art of Kissing earrings ".
 Frida Kahlo has been an inspiration to women through her art but also the way she lived her life; 
be strong and bold with this exquisite piece of jewellery. 
You can also wear your very own Frida with my new collection of stylised brooches and necklaces. 

I believe if Frida Kahlo was alive today, she would love to wear my designs...


Have a great Sunday :-)

MEMORIES IN BLACK AND WHITE, NYC AND LONDON

















Having fun with instagram in black and white, my fur hat and my good friend Natalia outside my new shop in Shoreditch. 
Natalia and I often meet together, to talk about our collections and discuss creative influences. 
Natalia and Diego are the founders and designers of The Lazy Ones and own the fashion label Des Moines.
 Her shop sits on the other side of the road, which is great as I can pop in and try on her new designs ( which I love ) . 
Natalia's style is bold, with structure, black with strong patterns will be paired together alongside her long red hair and red lips which always finish off her look. 
My recommendation, try The Lazy Ones green tartan trousers and new cozy jumpers, style and comfort wrapped up into one.
And finally my shop front has grown some lips! Actually we have painted them on, to celebrate The Art of Kissing and it´s success. 

Last photo image brings back memories of New York fashion Week, and my adventures in the Meatpacking District. 
The area is full of young designers, with small sophisticated shops, all beginning their journey into fashion. 
The energy is palpable and inspiring. I believe it is like the Brick Lane of New York, combining Vintage with young design.
 Im wearing an AllSaints ensemble of oversized T-shirt dress, with a hat, perfect for a long day of exploring.
