Vanessa describing the essentials of her design: „Fashion should be understated and simple on the surface- easy and comfortable items, created with a twist. Designs and fabrics accentuate an individual style, choosing the finest fabrics and working with mix of textures to give clothes an additional multidimensional effect. Soft feeling of a cocoon is important for the designer who prefers to select fluid, flowing and gentle materials underlying and celebrating the personality in her creations.
Clothes are a hidden token, layering pieces designed to give the wearer a quiet coolness without too much of a wanted uniformity resulting in truly individual items. I always suggest a “total look” that results in a strong distinctive statement.
