Early morning, walking to my forest studio, breathing in air full of pine mist and wild heather musk. The Dew Collection is about reflections and colour play. New Forest is full of awe at any time of the year. Imagine ancient forests, wildflower meadows, skittish deer, fern heaths, meandering streams and wandering ponies.

The sea and the beach are only 3 miles away from my studio. Twice a day, the tide brings new treasures and ideas to the foreshore. My favourite way to explore is on a paddle board, launched from our sailing yacht Lisichka. This is the inspiration for the Waves and Knots Collection.

Ten years ago, I discovered the pleasure of flying, first from the cockpit of a tiny Cessna and then in free flight on a paraglider. Every few months, I escape to fly in the big mountains and play in the clouds, while sharing the air with eagles and vultures. The Wings & Feathers Collection comes from the dream of flying and my admiration for our feathered friends.
