We would like to thank the following companies and individuals around the world who have contributed so much. Aspara Silk and our fair trade partners owe all of you a tremendous debt of gratitude.

Web design and build

We love the fabulous job Futurestore have done in designing and developing our online boutique. The talented, and ever-patient, Patric and Lawrence have been designing and building e-commerce websites for over eleven years. You can visit their impressive portfolio at www.futurestore.co.uk

Photography

The lifestyle photography on our site comes courtesy of the talented Sue Cunningham and Jean-Claude Hennicot. Taking time out from photographing the Xingu Tribes in the Amazon, Sue came to our rescue in the eleventh hour to provide the fashion photography for this season's collection. Working his magic on location in Phnom Penh, Jean-Claude proved he has a great eye and a big heart, turning our Spring/Summer 2010 accessories into mini works of art.

Philippa Blake worked wonders with the hair and make-up styling. Always in demand for her creative skills, she kindly gave up a weekend to style our five models and gorgeous friends - Adrian, Daisy, Ellie, Rachel and Jane - who generously donated their looks and time to bring our products to life.

Graphic Design

At Aspara, we consider Rebecca Calvert an essential part of our graphic design team who has brought her artistic flair to all our marketing materials. Rebecca is a freelance graphic, web and product designer who works with a variety of businesses in areas of website, brochures, leaflets, logos and product design. We can't recommend her highly enough! www.rebeccacalvert.co.uk

Dy Kim (Noro) is the genius fashion illustrator who transformed our branding into something luscious. From colour palettes to swing tags, from stationery to woven labels, his artistic talent knows no bounds!

Special thanks to the many friends and family who gave up their time and help to facilitate the launch of our online boutique
