Katie Hillier, the creative genius, or accessories designer, behind first Luella, Giles, Stella and then Marc by Marc Jacobs has finally launched something of her own.
It’s the bunny necklace at left, yes she’s really only launched one thing, and it goes on sale at Dover Street Market and Colette this week.
The bunny, whose bottom half is basically a fancy safety pin, is made from 18-karat gold with a diamond eye and retails for $1,325 - probably three or four times the amount her “Daddy, I want a pony” belt sold for ten years ago so here’s hoping for a Katie by Katie Hillier line very soon.

Discussion includes Alex’s love of black, his childhood dream of becoming a back up dancer, and the time that Henry couldn’t get into Alex’s SS09 after party - the one with Foxy Brown.
Henry tells us, “I got to meet some amazing people, some of my heroes. Paul Smith was so
inspirational and a lovely amazing man, but then chatting to my friend Katie
Hillier was much more informal and a funny chat. I loved them all!”
