STILL LIFES MAKE US HAPPY.

At EVA, we're fans of anything Collina Strada- and how could we not be, what with these new still life images from the Collina Strada website. Just when we thought designer Hillary Taymour couldn't make her signature leather-pleated bags and harness vests better than they already are, out pop these fun images. I mean, who doesn't like a giant white moose head plaque with a leather handbag hanging off the antler? Really, who?

Both pieces in the above images available at EVA!

 EVA threw a shopping party featuring Mandy Coon and Collina Strada on Tuesday, marked by heavy discounts on the collections from both designers and a video installation by Mandy Coon showing the ideas and process behind her latest collection. An exclusive preview of her AW10 collection was also displayed in the store. Jonathan Hokklo was there and snapped some pictures of the event.
