TORONTO – Rory Hutton is an accessories designer and illustrator based in Scotland. But defining him with merely one label would not do Mr. Hutton and his work justice. Wrapped in a silk dressing gown, he ultimately nurtures his soul and projects with the highest idea of beauty, sporting a thick black framed pair of spectacles that makes him resemble Yves Saint Laurent.

Beauty is a very individual concept. For me it is found in all the small details which make up one’s life: the cup I drink from, the objects I surround myself wit

He has spent the past 20 years earning his fashion stripes, working with the world’s top talent, and has carved out a name for himself as an accessories designer who makes covetable items that also sell like hotcakes – fashion gold.

After a diploma in engineering – the drafting skills he learned have stood him in good stead – he studied fashion at Ravensbourne where David Bowie and Stella McCartney both did foundation year. After graduating, he worked at Calvin Klein in New York and at Gucci in Florence – then under the stewardship of Tom Ford. The seven-days-a-week work schedule was all- encompassing. He regrets not exploring the Tuscan countryside more but can say he designed some seminal pieces for the Italian
