Hill and Friends SS16 Launch

Today Hill and Friends launched their new fashion and accessories brand at Claridge's Hotel.

We have loved designing the brand identity, brand palette, packaging and digital identity for the brand. The fun, always upbeat and hard working attitude of the team has made it an absolute pleasure. We are so glad that today was such a success. Congratulations to everyone involved!
Below is a taste of the brand collateral we created for their SS16 launch presentation.

London is Brutal

 

September in London is centred on design. London Fashion Week, London Design Festival, and Open House London, all taking place this month, serve as a reminder of the selcouth talent and beauty which animates this city’s creative scene. Each year provides an opportunity to examine, appreciate, and appraise the design and architecture that helps to shape our environment into the world's leading creative capital.

This year is no different, with an illustrious schedule characterising each festival. This said, it is the distinctive National Trust and Southbank Centre collaboration, Brutal Utopia, that we find to be particularly noteworthy. To coincide with the closure of the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room, and Hayward Gallery for repair and refurbishment, the organisations have coalesced their considerable creative talents to celebrate London’s Brutalist architecture. This partnership has taken the city through the looking glass, shining a light on the elysian formations that usually remain secondary to the life they encompass.

London is adorned with many Brutalist masterpieces. Love it or hate it — this style is intrinsically linked to Britain, with English architect Alison Smithson first utilising it as a written word in 1952. Our city's material terrain is diffused with rough unfinished surfaces, singular forms, and tactual raw concrete. Following is a modest annotation to some of London's fine Brutalist lineage.
The majority will be opening their doors in association with Brutal Utopia or Open-house.

Sweet Fun

We love chocolate and who doesn’t?
There is so much variety to cater for your personal preference, we are spoilt for choice. 

British chocolate brand 'ChocStars’ is the novelty range of gift chocolate created by the founder
of 'Chocolate and Love’ brand and it’s tasty as well as fun. It is meant to be given as a gift. The back of every package has a 'To' and 'From' section for that reason. It's something you give to a friend,
it's a chocolate which is also a gift card and it's guaranteed to put a smile on your friend’s face.
The fashionable pug is our current favourite.
