Camira’s head of creative, Lynn Kingdon said:

“We’re incredibly excited to collaborate with Anna Starmer during our 50^th year; colour plays a huge part in the design process of our products, and Anna’s expertise has been inspirational in the colouration of several new fabric ranges this year.”

“The key to beautiful design starts with a deep love for colour and materials; Camira is an expert in textile design and colour and I’m really looking forward to celebrating their 50^th anniversary at Clerkenwell Design Week. During the discussion we’ll unveil four key colour directions created for Camira, inspired by colour storytelling and bought to life through beautiful photography.”
