Bulgari is all about the bling. Well, at least that is what everyone thinks, especially since we repeatedly hear the brand's name when celebrities are revealing who they're wearing on the red carpet. Truth is, the fine jeweler has a lot more to offer. Like bags, eyewear and scarves. (If beauty is more your bag, it also offers sensational-smelling fragrances.) Now comes word that designer Mary Katrantzou has been named Bulgari's creative director of leather goods and accessories.
First, a little refresher on the Greek designer. Katrantzou studied architecture at Rhode Island School of Design graduating with a bachelor's degree in textile design and she also has a master's degree in fashion from Central Saint Martins. Her graduation presentation piqued industry interest and when she started her eponymous line in 2008, she earned the title Queen of Print for her bold and vibrant pieces.
