“I'm really thrilled to be asked in the selection for On|Off. I've always respected their taste in designers and think they have a completely unique vision, which is interesting and slightly subversive,” said Katie Grand. “This year's winner, Cunnington and Sanderson are new stars in the making. Their presentation was professional and thought provoking.”
