Handmade’s Rachel Evagelou is no stranger to modelling. And in our latest fashion photo shoot, her experience definitely shows. Her eye for a Handmade classic was put to the test at the last market, when she spent some time searching through designer stalls for perfect pieces for Spring. On a glorious day with blue sky and early warmth, she showed off these bright clothes with a bit of fun. Rachel wears: Dress (right) by Hana Clothing. Bustle (centre) by Two Threads and dress (far right) by Publisher Textiles. Stunning lady. 10
