ESTILA community

Here for independent creative brands and businesses

DISCOVER | CONNECT | COLLABORATE

Started in 2015 as a magazine, ESTILA has evolved into a supportive community of independent lifestyle and fashion brands, interior designers, artists and creatives. Our mission is to highlight, support and connect creatives in business to one another. This is a place where you can find creative and artistic inspiration and meet new industry contacts.

With background in design, retail and business, ESTILA is run by Karolina Barnes, creative director and chief storyteller at brand design agency and consultancy STUDIO/ESTILA. Her business adventure started at the age of 14, when her parents founded a successful wholesale firm in the fireplace industry. With her knowledge spanning over almost three decade, ESTILA is here to make you visible and help you progress on your own business journey. Learn more here.

Brand of the month:
Leila Vibert-Stokes

With her background in print design for the fashion
industry, working for brands such as Diane von Furstenburg, Gottex and Ted Baker, Leila Vibert-Stokes has launched her namesake brand, creating a range of bold, colourful and opulent homewares and gifts that are made from eco-friendly materials and manufactured to last.

Her first collection is inspired by otherworldly tropical habitats – from deep within the rainforest and sundrenched island shorelines to the worlds that lie just beneath the surface of the ocean. The collection showcases her unique process of mixing hand painting, photography and digital craft. It features luxury linen cushions and make-up bags, notebooks, giclee art prints and greeting cards. You can find out more about Leila in our upcoming newspaper which you can purchase from here.
