One of Cube's clients that I particularly admire is Sophie Hulme, an up-and-coming London designer who graduated with BA in fashion design from Kingston University last year. Hulme has created a very clever recipe and the concept is simple, she sources newly made, traditional military clothing and detailing and translates this into luxury wear by adding key detailing such as sequins, leather and gold chains. This cross over of military and hard edge features with a hint of luxury is an unusual marriage, but works all the same. What I really like is how each collection is represented by a charm pendant, all of which are very appealing and collectable. Apparantly she is creating a full jewellery line which I will be very eager to see...
