Roksanda Ilincic
A Serbian beauty; tall, slender, and pale-skinned; Roksanda Ilincic wouldn’t immediately appear to have a profession as a designer. She’s striking enough to be a designer’s muse, someone deserving of gracing the front covers of magazines dressed in Chanel and Givenchy. Yet she’s extremely talented when it comes to putting pen to paper and needle […]

Williamson’s trademark for nearly 15 years has been bright and saturated colors, large-scale prints, hand embroidery and refined, bohemian style. […]
