Katie Hillier

I am big fan of Katie Hillier's accessories, she is so in tune with what is up an coming in the fickle world of fashion. So I was really pleased to hear she had won the British Fashion Awards for Accessories designer 2009! And rightly so, she has worked and still continues to do so, with many great fashion companies such as Hugo Boss, New Look, Marc By Marc Jacobs, Luella, Gap Red, House of Holland and Loewe. At the end of this year Katie launched her luxury accessories range called Hillier, with a 18 carat gold and diamond paperclip bunny necklace. I'm look forward to seeing what 2010 brings from this talented designer.

Lisa Solberg

LA based artist Lisa Solberg used to be a professional skier, that was until she made a move into the visual arts. Her murals and large scale pieces with their mix of aggressive brush strokes, paint drips and use of colour inspired by fashion is what caught my eye she is like a modern Kadinsky. Here are a few examples of her work below.

I heart Alexa Chung

My new style icon is the gorgeous Alexa Chung. I love the way she mixes up her hobo style with a London street edge vibe using British designers such as Luella Bartley, Burberry and Mulberry. She first hit our screens on T4;s pop world, now she has her own US TV show for MTV 'It's on with Alexa Chung'.

Zakee Shariff for Roxy Heart

Last Wednesday I visited my Fashion Designer friend Zakee Shariff at Beyond the Valley. Zakee was launching her A/W 09 print/fashion collection which she designed for Roxy Heart. The collection was beautiful my favourite piece was a printed blouse inspired by Zakee's art work searching for light. The shop at the Bluebird, Supra girls, No-one and Beyond the Valley are among the few exclusive boutiques stocking this colourful range.
