Annie's Ibiza founder, Annie Doble, and designer Clio Peppiatt hosted an intimate dinner during London Fashion Week to celebrate their latest collaboration. The event welcomed notable guests, including Poppy Delevingne, Emma Weymouth and our current H! Fashion cover girl Jazzy De Lisser. Attendees enjoyed champagne from Moët & Chandon, while surrounded by beautiful floral arrangements by McQueens Flowers.
"I drew inspiration from a mosaic I had commissioned for my Ibiza home and have been ever since envisioning to create a mosaic collection for my new collaboration with Clio for some time, which I knew would work perfectly with Clio’s technique," Annie shared about the collection, "I integrated a new metalwork technique with Clio’s established silhouettes which allowed us to merge delicate craftsmanship with intricate hand-beaded artistry." The result is a bold, elevated collection that combines artistry and elegance, capturing the essence of warm Mediterranean summer nights.
