We wanted to recreate a fashion guide that has an environment where you can play with everything. It is a guide on what accessories are in fashion for Spring/Summer 2009 and how to wear them. It’s all about being fun and experimental with the accesorie trends this spring/summer. We discover the trends before they are trends and create “we-must-have-it-now” pieces. We can’t get dressed without accesories. It is the colourful, fantasy jewellery box that we always dip into because we know that from the earrings, bracelets, belts, hats, and much much more, there is always a treat to be found. Nothing captures accesories better than an image of a gorgeous smiling girl, dripping in animal print coloured jewellery... TRUE... but we have other ways of showing it too...have a look, it is warm, cheery and it made us smile!
