Alannah Hill Spring Summer 2011

Australian designer Alannah Hill is known for her ladylike and fanciful fashions.You can visit the world of Alannah Hill at alannahhill.com.au.

The site is a beautifully designed flash site, which works as she is a well known designer with a huge following. Newer designers interesting in building traffic might be better with a css/javascript site, as flash isn't brilliant for SEO. I must say that Stone, Paper, Scissors have done a magnificent job on the identity.

From "Brides" a pink and black wedding theme. Love the two pinks in the flowers. Bit too much black though for my liking.

Maisie Fantaisie from the UK - how adorable!

From Crumbs and Doilies - pink and black wedding cupcakes.
