AW08 Press Day Invitation

To celebrate and showcase some of our very own emerging design talents; Start will be hosting an exclusive day for our favourite press on Wednesday 15th October from 10:30 – 6:30.

Felipe Rojas Llanos has shown his menswear designs at the V&A ‘fashion in motion’ exhibition and has received a bursary from Georgio Armani to undertake an MA at Central Saint Martins. Inspired by the story ‘The Little Prince’, Felipe specialises in minimalist, contemporary tailoring that is reminiscent of Balenciagas’ precise creations.

Saranne Woodcroft previously worked as a design assistant for Richard Nicoll until SS08 where she focused primarily on draping on the stand. Inspired by Robert Morris’ felt sculptures and Jeff Koons' ribbon paintings; Saranne creates beautifully cut designs with clever sculptural accents.

Lucy Hutchings has already received rave reviews from the fashion press about her sublime hand-made jewellery. Lucy’s designs juxtapose natural and man-made materials such as exotic bird feathers, Swarovski crystals and and caged metal to create oversized, show-stopping statement pieces. 

We’ll be offering 30% off everything across the three Start shops from 10:30 – 6:30 so pop down to view the stunning pieces from our AW08 collections, including Acne, Jean-Pierre Braganza, Comme Des Garcons, Phillip Lim, APC, Engineered Garments and Miu Miu.

Saranne and Felipe will be on hand throughout the day to answer any queries and Lucy will be present from 5pm onwards to discuss her collection and give a special preview of her latest designs.
