Wearing colour well can become walking in art

“I enjoy women who wear colour well, those who can combine unexpected tones, artful prints and bold accessories. Those who take the time to indulge in self presentation and to consider how they wish to be received by the world, understanding both the power and pleasure it can transfer.

However it is a skill, and it takes time to find your colours, match up flattering hues and have the willingness to experiment.

But those who get it right become walking art…

…For me, to understand the nuances of each colour helps me to design, and to create styles that can both empower and inspire.

I design for women who want to become an unforgettable version of themselves and therefore the shade I choose will be intrinsic to the success of the style.”
