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.

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.

This week we are back Behind the Scenes, to offer you an insight about the inspiration that goes into our work. Today, we turn our attention to one our most popular and signature bags – the Severina.

Originally created back in 2008, the Severina is named after one of our colleagues – our PR agent – who fell in love with the bag the moment she first saw it. We happen to be inspired by people and it is why a number of our handbags are adorned with feminine names. The Severina bag herself has changed through time, the design has developed and evolved, while staying true to its original shape and model structure. Just like her namesake!

Severina Handbags throughout the years!

The Severina was born out of the desire to combine aesthetics with everyday practicality, merging them into one timeless piece. It happened so naturally, like it was meant to be. Classically shaped and wonderfully practical, the bag is for ladies who know what they are after, and are often characterised with a strong individuality and clear personal style. It is designed for to suit a variety of occasions, to be easy to combine with a variety of outfits and to stay on trend, so that it can transcend through countless special moments in one’s life.

Styling tips for the Severina Handbag in Rose Red

The inspiration behind the Severina is the desire to make something superb in quality, with the idea of delivering exceptional functionality with unmatched attention to detail. The details carefully developed to add functionality include the hand stitched detailing, the hand finished central flap, typical for our designs, as well as the central lock and removable chain strap, which means the Severina can easily transform itself from a day, shoulder bag to an evening clutch.

Details of the Severina Handbag

As our designs are so often inspired by architecture, the references in the Severina are quite clear too – including the straight lines and perfect shapes of the bag, the geometrical silhouette, as well as the symmetry of its proportion. The vision is original and complete, with an individual and bold construction. Moreover, when tailored to the client’s exact specifications, this accessory could turn into a private art piece. These can range from picking a colour to suit your wardrobe, to adding personalised details with a sentimental value, your loved one initials or a message to inspire you on your everyday move. It comes in a variety of leather and colour combinations, but do not hesitate to speak to us about your individual preferences.

The Severina is beautiful as an opera aria, with its elegance and feminity, delivering a strong and bold performance.
