Jewellery-lovers rejoice! Winner of the Swarovski Award for Accessory Design Justin Giunta will be teaming up with Tory Burch, as he becomes the design director of jewellery at her eponymous label. If you're already in love with the treasure-like heavy necklaces and oversized pearl-embellished pieces he creates for his jewellery brand Subversive, don't panic: Giunta will continue to design for both Subversive and its lower-priced diffusion line, Deviated.

“Justin’s talent and handcrafted aesthetic will take us to the next level," Tory told WWD of Giunta becoming the new design director. Now the only question we have in mind is, how long will it take for Giunta to make Tory Burch jewellery as popular as those successful, metal plate-embellished Reva flats? Our guess is as long as it takes to say "Manhattan."

It's fair to say that Anya Hindmarch has had a fairly eventful 2009. After the ultimate high of recieving an MBE from the Queen back in June, and the ultimate low after a series of high-profile burglaries in May, she has opened 2010 with a fresh and promising start, by collaborating with British heritage brand Barbour.

Her SS10 collection sees the designer take on a bright start to a new decade, after being influenced by: "...everything from the hot, hot pink of bubble gum wrappers to the beautiful bottle greens of enamel and glass vases. I was thinking a lot about the Fifties and drew inspiration from a huge variety of everyday objects including the folds of bikini tops and even pleated leather car interiors from this era."

The designer told Vogue.com: "I wanted to bring sunshine, colour and fun back into the collection with new resin hardware, clean curved lines and brights or neutrals in buttery and high-gloss leathers you can't resist touching."
