Kurt Geiger is known for giving the designers a run for their money with catwalk-worthy shoes and boots and now the cult high street brand is turning its hand to accessories. The new collection, which launches this month, is called ‘Everything but the Dress’ and does exactly what it says on the tin, offering a vast array of delectable pieces, including purses, bags, bangles and scarves. The range will be displayed in Kurt Geiger’s fancy new flagship store in Mayfair, where you’ll also find the limited edition stars of the AW footwear collection.
Supermodel Anja Rubik is fronting the ad campaign and the overall feel is high-end and glossy, with super-soft leathers, painterly prints and on-trend colours giving a luxurious, designer feel – at an affordable price. We love the fluoro Perspex purses (£30), studded Fara bangles (£25) and the beautiful Erdem-style watercolour print on the Eclair cosmetic pouch (£40).
Creative Director Rebecca Farrar-Hockley is a woman after our own hearts, saying “Clothing without accessories, is like a party with no cake” – we quite agree.
