Following the success of our Paris Showrooms for AW14, the work of designer Kirsty Ward has caught the eye of the press. This time around, it's Vogue Italia, Grazia, Style.com and Kaltblut magazine in which Ward's designs have made an appearance.  Her SS14 light blue statement earrings featured within the pages of Grazia whilst her AW14 cream short dress and purple necklace both highlighted on Vogue Italia.

With an aesthetic which revolves around striking pieces and dramatic embellishments, the designer and Central Saint Martins graduate was named one of our Ones to Watch for AW11. Since then, she's progressed to attract much attention from the industry as well as showcase her work at our showrooms for the past two seasons.

PRESS| Sabina Bryntesson joins Vauxhall Fashion Scout and attracts the attention from British Vogue

The penultimate show of Vauxhall Fashion Scout was from Sabina Bryntesson, a CSM graduate who was tipped at one of the top 5 MA grads this year. The show attracted a lot of attention after Jessica Bumpus, Fashion Features Editor at Vogue.com, identified her as a designer to watch out for when Vauxhall Fashion Scout interviewed her for the Browns Blog in August this year. Jessica came to Vauxhall Fashion Scout to see the show today and seemed to be very impressed by Sabina's most recent work.

The designer told Vogue about the SS'13 collection, describing how she is “interested in how people dress depending on what religious beliefs they have and how important colour is for the imagery in these groups and the impact of strictness and conformity”. Jessica was right to anticipate Sabina's success, the collection was slick, intelligent and refined.

A certain Ms Kirsty Ward has been very popular as of late, in fact it seems you can't open a magazine without seeing her name - or jewellery - emblazoned across the page. Kirsty was first hotly tipped by yours truly - Vauxhall Fashion Scout showcased Kirsty's designs as an exhibition designer for SS11 and as VFS One's to Watch for AW11 - whilst Vogue hailed her 'Designer to Watch in 2011'. 

Here's a snippet of the recent press that the acclaimed designer has received, make sure you also check out the My Fashion Life's feature as well as the Because magazine's interview with her. 

Editor Cass Gowing caught up with Kirsty Ward to see how it feels to receive such positive press...

"The press exposure is really great at the minute, I'm working with such a great PR agency (Sane Communications) they are lovely people too. The press side of the business is really important as it definately leads onto sales and helping the brand grow, which is really important to me. 

I've also been getting some really amazing press in the Middle East as my pieces are stocked in Dubai and I visited there for an event earlier this year, the press out there have been really supportive, clocking up features in Grazia, L'Officiel, Time Out, Harpers Bazaar amongst various important Middle Eastern magazines, Newspapers and TV channels."

It seems like Kirsty Ward has been a very busy bee, but what is she up to at the minute?

"At the moment its a mix of production and S/S13 which I'm really excited about, I'm currently working on the final toiles for the garments and I have various jewellery elements lying around inspiring me. As I mentioned in my Twin Factory interview a hint of my inspiration is: Tea ladies and tabards with a modern sci-fi edge."
