Pearly Queens

I am completely in love with pearls. Always have been, always will.

My designer du jour is Sophie Bille Brahe, who studied at London's RCA, and since set up her eponymous brand.

A combination of modern designs using traditional methods, her Croissant de Perle has become a cult piece among the fashion press.

Sophie is inspired by reflections in precious stones and gold with a strong nod to her Scandinavian heritage - the minimalism that I love.

And how amazing is this Africa necklace...

I'm also loving how Peony Lim uses pearls to decorate her hair styles.

Prim I Am.

This Danish label began in 2008. A mix of clean cuts, fresh colours and simple designs. They have just collaborated with Topshop and will be featuring in the London Oxford Street store. 


Here is an interview with the label, taken from Inside Out Topshop's own blog.


How would you best sum up your design ethos?
Good quality, attention to detail, organic materials and affordable too!

What's your favourite thing about your job?
Doing what we love doing every day, being creative and working with wonderful people!

If you had to pick one favourite piece from your current collection, which would it be? 
We have many favourites, but if I had to pick I would say either the sexy Bounce dress or the very soft Allure t-shirt in organic cotton. Or the denim shorts, Blast, which I love the fit of.

Where's the best place in the world?
Copenhagen in the summertime!

What are your must-see London spots?
We love Covent Garden and all the small shops and cafés.

What can you absolutely not live without this summer?
Wedges, denim shorts and tank tops.
