Julie-Anne Dorff left her job as Chanel’s public relations manager to spend more time with her family. But after 13 years in the fashion industry, you can take the girl out of Chanel but you can’t take Chanel out of the girl. Dorff has returned to the fashion fold, this time as a designer and founder of brand new label, Les Foulards de Juju. After finding a piece of Italian linen on her travels, the new designer decided to create a range of scarves for women and children. What started as a little hobby soon evolved into a business idea. Dorff now sources fabric from the Italian factory that produced the original piece that inspired her and picks up other patterned fabrics that catch her eye. On setting up the label she explains, “I always need to have my little ‘jardin secret’. I love fashion and making scarves was the perfect creative outlet for me”.

The scarves are available on request from £30 for adults and £10 for children.

For Marilyn Monroe he created a bejewelled heel, Audrey Hepburn got a classic black pump and Judy Garland wore a rainbow coloured platform he designed after her role as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Salvatore Ferragamo’s appearances in Hollywood’s finest’s closets have made his footwear iconic. Now we can also make claims to owning an iconic pair, as he launches three new shoe styles to Miniature Preziose, a collection of necklaces featuring his dainty footwear. Joining Garland’s Rainbow style and the Red and Honey for Monroe, are the Carmen, Renaissance and Butterfly in 18ct gold. The tale behind Ferragamo’s famous Renaissance style was that it was inspired by a high-soled wooden shoe from the period that was considered to be the first to feature a heel. Traditional women’s clothes in the Ch’ing dynasty influenced the Butterfly while the Carmen was made in 1938 for the flamboyant dancer and Broadway star, Carmen Miranda.

The necklaces are priced at £1,620. ferragamo.com.
