A few weeks ago, Jonathan Saunders was announced as the new creative director of Pollini.
You may ask, “What’s Pollini?” and we say, “Well, it’s this Italian label that was really popular in the ’70s, it’s in some vintage stores, and now Aeffe deals with it…”
Currently, the line is cute and streamlined, with lots of navy and neutrals, but we imagine Mr. Saunders will transform it substantially and render it more in his own style:
Graphic, floaty, and a little bit insane.
But even more pressing than “What’s he going to do for Pollini?” is this:
“How does he have time to design four collections?!”
That’s right, four: His namesake label, TopShop, Target, and now, Pollini.
We predict a never-ending Starbucks run for his many assistants.

Nicholas Kirkwood who is with out a doubt the best young shoe designer in the world (its really true I have just seen a preview of his AW collection and it is AMAZING!!) is creative director of the accessoires so it will be really interesting to see what happens at Pollini next season.... they are huge in Italy still apparently but have recently just finished with Rifat Ozbek as creative director and are looking for a fresh direction. I think Jonathan and Nicholas will bring about an exciting fresh new look to Pollini
