When she was present she was fully present, bright and sparkling.

We had the opportunity to interview the designer Cho Cho Cheng and explore the inspiration behind the collection. What inspired your latest collection? This collection is inspired by the 1959 film ‘North By Northwest’ and Joan Crawford. The fall/winter show had the feeling of a modern, playful take on the 1940’s sophisticated lady. How did you achieve that? I tried to achieve historical accuracy by using Prince of Wales plaid fabric from heritage mills that have been…
