“For the Ginger & Smart Grand Showcase we will be showing our Winter 18 Collection, inspired by Augmented Reality and technology. We were drawn to the blurred line between what is real or computer generated, and how this alters our senses,” Genevieve Smart of Ginger & Smart said in a statement. 

“This collection explores the tension between future and nature and the magic created by the balance of these contrasts. Expect to see artisanal textural fabrication, luminous colour and bold accessories in a curated anthology of Ginger & Smart.”
