As featured as Elle’s designer of the month, the whimsical creations from the London based French designer Charles Anastase are in demand not only by us at Start but also by the likes of Kylie Minogue and Kelly Osbourne.

His amazing debut collection was based on the adventures of Alice in Wonderland. But it was only after winning the LVMH Group’s €50,000 prize from the French Ministry of Culture that enabled him to make his dream a reality. And we are so glad he did! When speaking of his first collection he says “It’s the best ever story about a girl’s dream. When I started it was just for fun, then the whole collection sold”.

Every collection always holds the signature femininity with fun and flirty twists. When speaking of the Spring Summer collection he says “There’s no reason to be minimal, it’s so boring”. So accessorise to your hearts content!

Our pick is this floral drop waist dress embellished with an enchanting orchid print. Team with a Miu Miu ballet pink belt and you’ll have everything you need for a trip to your very own wonderland!
