Welcome to our latest installment on Fashion influencers and trend-setters.  We started with the Bloggers and now we’re moving onto the Young Starlets who have already made it big, and who we think are going to get even bigger in 2016.  Our next post in the series (“Taste-Makers: The Business Women”) will appear on 4th of March 2016.

So who are the young stars who are setting the pace when it comes to Fashion?  The ones who despite their tender years have already established their very own style?  Here are the names to keep an eye out for in 2016…

Serayah McNeill

Step forward Serayah McNeill aka singer Tiana Brown from the massive US television hit show, Empire.  Singer, dancer, former basketball player and member of Taylor Swift’s girl gang, Serayah certainly knows how to make people stop and stare.  Always rocking a bold and fresh look, we see her star rising higher and higher in 2016.

Our top pick for Serayah: Berry Mini Wristlet in Black Patent

Luping Wang

If you haven’t heard of Luping Wang already, you soon will.  The Chinese model, who was discovered in her hometown mall, has already appeared in the Chanel, Stella McCartney and Chloe fashion week shows, and has also worked with Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Dior, and Hermes. You may also have spotted her on the front covers of Elle China and Grazia China.  We love her cool sophistication and eye for style.

Our top pick for Luping : Mini Karolina in Sky Blue and Tanned Vegetable Leather

Maisie Williams

You may know her better as Arya Stark in the HBO television series Game of Thrones.  The multi-award-winning English actress has also recently become a star of Doctor Who.  Not just a style queen who always strikes a vibrant and different look, she’s also a big lover of animals and cares deeply about upholding their rights, something that we at Anya Sushko care about greatly, too.

Olympia Campbell

You could say that Olympia is part of Modelling royalty.  The UK star’s older sister Edie is a renowned model and their mother is former Vogue fashion editor, Sophie Hicks.   Burberry, Lanvin and Fendi have all engaged her services, and she’s also worked with the fabulous Karl Lagerfeld.  We love this natural and stylish beauty’s blog and what she has to say about women being confident in their sexuality.  Girl power!

Saiyami Kher

Popular Kingfisher model turned Bollywood actress, we predict that we’re all going to be hearing a lot more about Saiyami this year.  Daughter of former Miss India, Uttara Kher, glamorous Saiyami always looks hip, sassy and beautiful and definitely knows how to dress.

Dear Readers, over the next few months we are going to be writing about great places for doing business over breakfast or lunch, as well as giving you our suggestions on which of Anya’s bags and accessories to take with you, so watch this space! Today’s post is about Business Breakfasts in London. Our next post in this series (“Business Lunches in London”) will be posted on 15th February 2016.

When it comes to business, we all know that breakfast is the new lunch, but what are our tips for making the right impression and landing that all-important deal?

Well, first off, you need to look the part! London is one of the most stylish cities in the world and you need to stand out. The Maxi Karolina, our take on the formal tote bag, is the ultimate in sassy sophistication. If you are a business-woman who wants to look a bit different but in a classy, understated way, then consider the Maxi Karolina in Olive Green and Black Leather. Perfect for the season.

If you’re going all out for the look of the elegant woman who means business, then push the boat out and get yourself a Luxury Grande Sunburst Holdall in Dark Grey. A statement piece par excellence, which will get London heads turning as you make your entrance for breakfast!

And don’t forget about your accessories. A Berry Pencil Case in Metallic Olive Green or Metallic Brown will be perfect this winter in London to hold your Mont Blanc fountain pen. 

So with your styling done, where do you go to secure that lucrative contract over coffee and granola? Look no further than our list of favourite places in London for business breakfasts. Here goes….

The Wolseley
As you know, we like style and we like tradition so it won’t come as a surprise to you to see The Wolseley top of our list. Cosy seating and hearty food combine with classy furnishing and a dash of celebrity to make this a “must” if you want to create the right impression with that upmarket client. For something a bit more unusual than your average breakfast, go for the Kedgeree – delicious!

The Delauney
If you want a classy place with a buzz of excitement, then be sure to try out The Delauney. Large but intimate, it has just the right level of formality for a business breakfast, and is always nicely full, making it a pleasant hive of activity. Our favourite here is the Granola with Maple Syrup and Raisins – a traditional dish with an interesting twist.

Riding House Cafe
Cool, modern and vibrant, the Riding House Cafe is a firm favourite for business breakfasts. The distinctive decor, superb service and interesting menu will leave no-one disappointed. Feel like treating yourself? Go for the Lobster Benedict for an indulgent start to the day.

Little House
The Soho House group always manages to hit just the right note when it comes to blending a relaxed atmosphere with a touch of formality, and nowhere more so than its Mayfair gem, Little House. This exclusivity comes at a price of course (like all the other Soho House venues, this is a private members’ club) but it’s worth every penny. Our favourite here is the Avocado on Toast with Poached Egg.
