THE DESIGNERS- OCTOBER 09
Below you will find further information on the designers from our Valmont October Catwalk show which included Peter Twiss, Hanako Narahira, House of Ilona and NOTINAF by Navamani Geymeier.
PETER TWISS www.petertwiss.com
After graduating at the Surrey Institute of Art and Design, Peter went on to work as a freelance designer for various boutiques in London before setting up his own label in 2008.
Peters inspiration for this seasons collection has come from his childhood roots in Nagaland, North East India, where he spent a large part of his childhood.
By developing and manipulating his favourite fabric, silk, Peter has created a unique set of cocktail dresses that flatter the figure by moulding to the body.

HANAKO NARAHIRA www.hanakonarahira.com
Hanako Narahira is a knitwear designer just starting up her own label. Following her arrival in London in 2003, Hanako gained plenty of inspiration which sparked her interest in the fashion world. Since she started a BA Fashion Design with Knitwear course at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, she found Knitwear to be her biggest inspiration and is the one design medium where she feels she can express herself most.
House of Ilona www.houseofilona.com
House of Ilona is run by head designer Camelle Ilona Daley, a previous student from the prestigious London College of Fashion. After having worked with fashion label Image Devine for 5 years, Camelle decided to launch her own label in August 2009. Since its launch she has rapidly built up a private clientele throughout the UK and US.
Her debut collection consists of elegant and stylish womenswear pieces.
NOTINAF by Navamani Geymeier www.notinaf.com
Navamani Geymeier is a young Swiss fashion designer born in Lausanne to a German father and a Malaysian mother. This multicultural background is to remain a constant source of inspiration in her work.
Fascinated by the essence of mathematics, she applies this analytic view to her creative process in order to understand and solve the complexity of the garment, focusing on logic and precision.
It leads her to favour a sophisticated urban style, and hence to create with spontaneity timeless garments, nevertheless subtly managing to convey modernity.
Furthermore, the contagious enthusiasm she finds in dance and music brought her to continuously look for fluidity, movement and harmony in her creations. Consequently, her refined silhouettes coupled with her passion for construction are the ideal vehicle for Navamani's avowed determination to surprise with a conceptual and contemporary approach to fashion
