Cecilia Hammaborg is an up-and-coming Swedish designer based in London, England. These gorgeous coats and jackets are from her first collection of women's outwear entitled 'Black River Falls.'
I love this Blue Riding Hood coat which is cool and feminine at the same time. I recently had the pleasure of trying on Hammaborg's collection at her market stand in Brick Lane. The cuts are amazingly flattering. I literally wanted to buy all of them.
The designer who has been selling her designs at markets and online shops has now decided that she is ready to embark on a fashion business career, at last setting up her own label. This autumn/winter 08/09 collection of quality fabrics from Italy is a capsule collection of 7 pieces and is an ideal debut for the Swedish designer.
