Emma Hill (EmmHill) and Georgia Fendley (GeorgiFendley) in 2015 launch a joint line of accessories. Under the name Hill & Friends, they intend to produce bags, wallets, wallets and other pleasant ladies' little things - in a word, everything for which Hill was loved on both sides of the ocean. The two main - in the past - ladies of the Mulberry house promise to be in time by September and present the first samples during London Fashion Week. Over time, they are ready to move on to the development and production of clothing of their own design, but keep accessories as their main focus.
The series of coincidences that fell in June, and associated with the name Mulberry, can be considered amusing, even if you do not look for a connection between them. For example, in the spring, the brand announced the appointment of Johnny Coca to the post of creative director, which has been vacant since Hill's departure. The new head of the brand will start working just next month. His first collection will appear in London at the same time as Hill & Friends' first works. By the way, two years after the departure of Emma Hill (EmmHill) from her post at Mulberry, this is her first notable contribution to modern fashion.
The potential of the new brand is demonstrated not only by the reputation of Emma Hill (EmmHill), who created the iconic Mulberry backpack, but also by the experience of Georgia Fendley (GeorgiFendley), one of the most successful directors of the brand. It is already known that the exclusive right to sell their debut Net-A-Porter collection was bought before it was announced to the press. Accessories from Hill & Friends will appear in the site's catalog the day after the presentation.
