There is a window at Numbat Fashion House that holds more than just a view—it carries memories, dreams, and the timeless elegance of the past. This window, old yet full of stories, is where my inspiration begins. Through it, I see more than the beauty of Norfolk’s nature. I see history, I see tradition, and most of all, I see my daughter Veronika Guardi
For years, we stood side by side, creating together—hundreds of collections, each piece infused with our shared passion for vintage English elegance. Now, as I design the fourth collection alone, the process feels different. But in truth, I am never alone. Every time I look through this window, she is with me. In the shifting light, in the gentle movement of the trees, and in the echoes of our past conversations, I find her presence, guiding me forward.
Yes, I have found the most beautiful deadstock fabrics, treasures from the past waiting to be transformed. But fabric alone is never enough. The perfect designs require something more—inspiration, emotion, and a story to tell. My window gives me that story. It reminds me of everything we created together and everything I still have to create.
Each new collection at Numbat Fashion House is not just about clothing; it is about preserving a legacy, honoring a timeless aesthetic, and embracing the journey of craftsmanship. Through this window, I don’t just see the past—I bring it forward into the present, into every stitch, into every design.
So when you wear a piece from Numbat, know that it carries more than fabric and thread. It carries memories, love, and the spirit of a designer who still walks beside me, through every window of inspiration.
