Hermione de Paula is another MA Central Saint Martins (sigh) graduate who, before launching her own label, interned for Alexander McQueen, Galliano, Christian Dior couture etc. I am usually very skeptical about CSM graduates who go into placements with designers like McQueen, because I find them limitied, elitist and predictable. However I have these thoughts because I am jealous obviously.
Yet I actually like Hermione de Paula. She doesn't look like a typical St Martins student (for starters, she's English.) Her penchent is for prints; her garments possess hand painted designs, delicate embroidery and her attention to structures and detail is stunning. I genuinely believe her talent.
This are pictures from her collection 'Polly Crystalline'.
