Annette Olivieri - Fashion Designer

I adore this jacket. My Absolute favourite! Handmade, sculpted, bright (pink, blue, yellow), and immaculately embroidered. £2,000. Delicious.

This was one big piece of material that I wrapped around my head and body. (designed and made by Annette Olivieri)

Annette Olivieri - Italian Fashion Designer.

Many words would be needed to describe something that was not obvious for our own eyes to see.....

She is a woman that embraces individuality, creativity and vision.

Above is a shoot that took place on Portobello Road and at her store, Euforia Space Ship, No7 Portobello Green Arcade. 281 Portobello Road. W10 5TZ.

Annette is such a sweetie because she encourages me to waltz into her store, grab all the clothes I can get my beady eyes and sticky paws on, and straight away put them on or take them away (which is a regular occurrance, to which I am very grateful for). She likes people to feel inspired by her work, and wear them with pride and individuality.

Annette is not afraid to experiment and embellish, sometimes mixing very futuristic prints with tribal jewellery or antique accessories.

What a fabulous woman! She designs and makes all her own material, at her digital studio, and creates one-off pieces that look like sculptures that one can wear.

I love her! She is super fabulous. Check out---> http://annetteolivieri.co.uk/ for more stuff to make your mouths water, eyes fall out and jaws drop to the floor...Bacio xxx
