Hermione de Paula 'Darlingtonia’s Obsession'

Spring/Summer 2012

One of London's most exciting young designers and a graduate of Central Saint Martins, Hermione de Paula's Spring Summer 2012 collection mixes traditional English craftmanship with playfulness and individuality. Inspired by exotic flowers and birds, this jewel-toned collection features hidden surprises where rose petals are actually fish tails and flowers are made of metal or ice. She has worked for luxury labels such as Christian Dior Couture, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, Giles and acted as a print consultant for Nicholas Kirkwood before launching her own ready-to-wear label in 2008.
