Name: Georgine Ratelband

Label: GEORGINE 

Years designing: Three years.

How many seasons showing: This September will be our second time showing! 

Inspiration for Spring 2015: I was inspired by the photographs of Slim Aarons, which are quite classic, but also the wild hedonism of the glamorous demimonde who descended onto Saint-Tropez during the summers of the 70s. 

What’s the biggest challenge for new designers these days? There are countless challenges yet the most difficult for me is when I develop a whole new concept each season and then I have to try to work that into a set budget without losing the essence of my message.  

Who would you love to have at your show/presentation? Slim Keith, Loulou de la Falaise and Gloria Guinness. 

Who would you love to dress? Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lawrence.

Dream collaboration? I would love to collaborate with Zaha Hadid.
