Mulberry’s former creative director Emma Hill has a new design endeavor nearly two years since leaving the company. Known for creating some of the Brit brand’s most coveted designs, like the Alexa and Del Rey, Hill is getting ready to launch her own line of accessories with her label, Hill & Friends. Known for her celeb connections and cutting-edge creativity, expect a spread of ‘It’ bags. The designer will show her first Spring 2016 collection at London Fashion Week in September along with her co-founder Georgia Fendley, a creative consultant and former brand director at Mulberry. Shoppers can get ready to shop the collection on Net-A-Porter, and the brand’s own e-commerce site, which is set to go live in September. The duo is reportedly on the hunt for New York City and London storefronts and have plans to expand into ready-to-wear down the line.
