We nabbed the uber-busy designer extraordinaire, Juliette Hogan, for 5 minutes of her time to answer, well, 5 questions.
1. Your Winter 2012 collection has a bit more sass ‘n’ beef to it than your previously soft ‘n’ sweet – where did you find inspiration for this collection?
I'm not really sure. I think as I'm getting a little bit older I want my clothes to reflect that. It's a little bit more grown up and a little bit more tough...It's for a confident girl with a hint of masculine style.
2. What do you predict to be the next big trend for Winter 2012? (And would you go there yourself?)
Trends are a funny thing aren't they? chunky with dainty is what I'm going to be wearing. Our granty collars are perfect for pairing with a delicate vintage dress.
3. What does ‘beauty’ mean to you?
Loving what you have and being content, and knowing how to use it with pride.
4. If you could choose three people, dead or alive, to come over to your place for an impromptu wine tasting (with cheese); who would they be and why?
Can they be fictional?
Yes.
Mary from Downton Abbey - she's amazing.
Jeanette Walls - I have just read her autobiography 'the glass castle' and would love to spend time with her chatting more about her childhood
...and Johnny Depp - he's such a babe!
5. What is most precious to you this 2012?
My family, my new house, my friends, fresh air, swimming in the sea... laughing out loud.
