This website was created in May 2013 as a research project for  the Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design by student Ariadne Kapelioti.


I am a physicist and jewellery designer from Greece.

While every effort has been made to be accurate and acknowledge every picture and source, there may have been slips or omissions. In that case, I apologize in advance.

If you have any suggestions or comments, just pop me an email at ak@superlora.com or find me on twitter @superloradotcom

You are welcome to drop by my website www.superlora.com at any time and, please, tell me what you think :)

I enjoyed every minute of this research project, however, it's not over yet. I will definitely build up this website further more.

 

From now on, every time I see a rose garden, I will think of the lovely Mr Christian Dior...

Thank you for your interest/
