"For spring/summer 2016 I took inspiration from California sky-gazing,"said Sandra Choi,'s creative head. She told us the sandals, pumps and bags in the new collection are all about "conveying an upbeat attitude whilst juxtaposing new with old- artisanal vintage references blended with bold, graphic architectural details- to create something modern and surprising."

"Statement graphics of palm trees meld with bold architectural gestures to create a collection that is uninhibited and teems with care-free glamour," said Choi. "Sunshine, the outdoors and the sculptural grandeur of architects like Richard Meier and Frank Gehry were the starting points."
