Ada Zanditon

DESIGNER NAME: Ada Zanditon

BACKGROUND: Zanditon is from London, and she studied at London College of Fashion.

SIGNATURES: “Sculptural outerwear and sculpturally detailed dresses embellished with my unique illustrations and print designs.”

TRADEMARK PIECE: “The Vronsky wrap coats - military detailing, richly textured sculptural takes on the winter wardrobe essential and the Karenina dresses, fluid jersey dresses in organic cotton and silk digital prints featuring my signature Fantasia inspired March of the Tigress prints.”

IDEAL CLIENT: “A modern warrior princess/queen/empress - your choice.”

THE COLLECTION: “An imaginary journey from Siberia to Bhutan through the eyes of an Anna Karenina-like warrior princess, who has escaped the patriarchal society and gone on a quest to become the goddess of the tigress.”

CULTURAL INFLUENCES: “I live with DJs and producers and I work from my studio in Whitechapel so I am surrounded by music and art on a daily basis. It’s a great thing to be a London based designer. But ironically I find the majority of my inspiration in nature, through my passion for protecting endangered species.”

PLANS FOR 2013: “Growing more tomatoes.”
