SIGNATURES: “Highly detailed and surreal pencil drawings translated into unique prints on silk and cashmere.”

TRADEMARK PIECE: “The Amazon Jungle silk chiffon scarf.”

IDEAL CLIENT: “Anyone who appreciates a mix of fine art and timeless design. Someone who has their own sense of style rather than following trends.”

THE COLLECTION: “An African safari trip - evolution, mutation and irregular patterns in nature. Also classical myths, ancient bronze sculptures and Japanese prints and netsuke (tiny sculptures from the 17th century).”

CULTURAL INFLUENCES: “Art is a big influence, since the starting point of each collection is always creating new artwork. This season I've looked to artists including Henri Rousseau, David Hockney and John James Audubon.”

PLANS FOR 2013: “Launching in new markets worldwide as well as with some very exciting stockists here in London. Also a new website and online store coming soon.”
