FASHION156 UPDATE; Designer tracking series, still up and running. Important showcases for each designer through such a crucial time, LFW.

MARIA FRANCESCA PEPE is featured today; 


She describes the key as waking up slow, “I’m more like a night person than an early bird. I can email in the morning, I work mainly from my blackberry (that’s all I can do!) but I take my time getting ready because once I’m in the office I’m kind of stuck!”

We are discussing how Maria likes to relax in the run up to LFW and she talks almost maternally about nurturing her garden and creating a peaceful sanctuary away from everything – “I love to do gardening. I’ve got my plants and I feed them and I love to see how they blossom. It’s something that I enjoy very much – I even take pictures!”

Insight into her relaxation time, and ways Maria keeps herself distracted from all the chaos!

The white horse, local haunt for a get-away.

Local parks free Maria's mind.
