Ana Sekularac's Designer Transformation

British model-turned-designer Ana Šekularac doesn't attribute her design talents to the typical childhood sources. But just because her early years weren't spent admiring her mother's wardrobe and designing clothes for Barbie dolls, doesn't mean her collections lack the intuitive savvy of a lifelong fashionista.

Having modeled for Miu Miu and worked for Cosmopolitan magazine, Šekularac eventually attended the London College of Fashion to pursue design. Her latest collection featured sharply tailored wool blazers as well as suits with a futuristic inspiration and Ilya Fleet belts. Šekularac created many of these garments in her fashion atelier where each piece is created by a seamstress and finished by hand. Each season, Šekularac uses her signature colors (scarlet red and black), but occasionally adds a third color to complete her neo-modern designs.

Though still on the rise, Brits—including Emilia Fox, Camilla Rutherford and mega-star Victoria Beckham—are making quite the fuss over Šekularac's excellent craftsmanship and striking details.
