My Grandmother has aways bought the Telegraph on a Saturday, after reading the magazine inside she then hands it on to us. I always find it a very interesting read for all sorts; culture, lifestyle, fashion and other different art forms. This week as i flicked to the 'Women's Hotlist - The names to watch for the new season' my attention was drawn to Katie Hillier.
After being named as one of the 50 most influential names in British fashion by ELLE magazine in its annual Fashion Power List in 2009, as well as winning Accessory Designer of the Year award at the British Fashion Awards in the same year, its clear she really knows her stuff.
I fell in love with her adorable animal charms that feature on her most recent work for luxury spanish house Loewe seen below. The bags come in two designs with a choice of three colours. With each different colours comes a different animal charm. Red: Snail, Pink: Mouse and blue is her infamous rabbit design.
Learning of Hillier's talents provoked me to research the brand further. The Hillier brand prides itself on its humble paper-clip designs and cute animal doodles. Currently designing jewellery under the brand name Hillier (click here to view their website) i fell even more in love with her bunny designs and cute heart shaped rings. Here are my faves...
18ct gold Bunny earrings with pave diamonds £495
18ct yellow gold Glowing Heart ring with diamond and fluorescent ceramic £700
18ct yellow gold Bunny ring with pave diamonds £1,500
Sterling Silver Tortoise pendant £295
Sterling Silver Bumblebee pendant £295
18ct yellow gold Hedgehog pendant around £695
The Hillier website also features short animations of their collections, here is my favourite 'City Critters Carnival'
