Getting an interview with your favourite designer is every girl’s dream. But when your favourite designer is one of the busiest and hard working men in fashion then things can get tricky. I wasn’t going to let it defeat my rock and roll dream chasing edge so took my chances and made it happen. I finally managed to chat to Christian Blanken on hisdesigns, his brand, SS12 collection and most important of all, the brain food for every Dream chaser; motivation, inspiration and purposefulness.

Paolucci – Giacomelli.

Roberta is an interior designer, Paolo has a letters background and a long train as jewel artisan at an old shop in Rome, there he learned how to shape and realize jewels according to the most traditional techniques of jewellery.

The crossing between old techniques and contemporary inspirations gave birth to IOSSELLIANI’s collections.

People always assume that the constant following of trends and rocking the latest/hottest thing on the catwalk will get them the attention they need to progress on the career ladder, attract the love of their life and boost their confidence. I die for trends but when it comes to dressing for success, I am inspired by old school roots of smart dressing. You know that sexy tailored look that my friend Ozwald Boateng designs? I die for that, I yearn for that. To me that is sexy and I would like to see more of this on young women.
