Drawing inspiration from her travels around the world and her own bohemian spirit, Rebecca embeds her designs with a personality that closely aligns with her own personal aesthetic. Each season Rebecca Vallance’s luxurious collections eschew trends by creating timeless pieces that are both modern and classic. We had a chat with Rebecca about her new ready to wear collection.

Where were you working before you created your own label?
I started modelling when I was 13. I then worked in fashion Publicity for 7 years after that.

What made you decide to get into fashion design?
I moved overseas to live with my husband in Malta, Europe. The weather is very hot all year round in Malta and I couldn’t find any amazing cover up pieces that suited our lifestyle, so I developed my own. I wore them to a few events and people started asking how they could go about buying them, so I developed my kaftans into a line, which was picked up by some stores around Europe. The next step was to launch my own ready-to-wear collection, which is being released this season.

Tell us about your SS11 collection.
This season it’s all about leather. Leather mini’s, leather shorts, leather shifts. I’m just loving leather at the moment.
The collection also has a lot of hand beading in it. Each hand-beaded piece was designed with St Tropez in mind - perfect for a post beach martini at the bar.
The collection has a palette of colours which emulate the incandescent shades of the Mediterranean.

Who is the Rebecca Vallance customer?
Any girl or woman who likes to look and feel beautiful.

What’s next for your label?
