Olivia Rubin for Young British Designers

I find Olivia Rubin's work so much fun and I was delighted when I was asked by Young British Designers to write a piece on her!

'Young British Designers launches September. We have set it up to provide a world stage for all the astonishingly brilliant young fashion talent that exists in our country today.

We don't want to only promote the creations (clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery etc) but also the people behind them. The site will be as much about the designers, who they are, what inspires them..and, importantly, how wearing their designs makes someone feel (this emotional connection is often lost in retail translation).

We have a mix of brand new, never seen before designers and some in their third or fourth seasons. All up and coming, all very talented. For our launch we have around 38 designers joining us.

We will always be on the lookout for new talent, always try and help in any way we can.

YBD will provide a global focus for, and a place to buy the very best of young British fashion so that designers can have the very best chance of growing their brands.' (Debra from YBD)

Please stop by their blog and the post would love to hear what you think :) I am really looking forward to their website being up and running!
