#LetterfromLondon | May 2014 Letter from London | #BRITISHFASHION

Congratulations to Phoebe Philo OBE and Natalie Massenet MBE who have been recognised among the world’s 100 most influential people by Time magazine. "One of the few female designers, she celebrates the simple and champions the quality and reality of a woman's wardrobe.” Stella McCartney OBE on Phoebe Philo OBE "The word visionary is lofty, overused. Somewhat abused. There are few people who can really see something that doesn't exist. Create it. Explain it. And get others to follow. Natalie Massenet is, in fact, that visionary."
