Top Carrera y Carrera’s Círculos de Fuego cufflinks in silver with onyx. Above One of Curvy Kate’s designs with a black flower print, by Charlotte Davies.

Carrera y Carrera has launched a range of sterling silver cufflinks for men, with prices beginning at €300.
   Its Córdoba collection is inspired by the architectural elements of Córdoba. The La Viña collection is tied to the Mediterranean with what the brand calls a ‘Spanish spirit—sun, passion, energy, and joy.’ The Alegrías collection features ‘mini-sculptures with geometric reliefs inspired by the decoration of a Spanish guitar,’ while the Y collection uses the Carrera y Carrera identity.
   An Asian inspiration can be found in the Círculos de Fuego cufflinks, while Bestiario sees lions, tigers, crocodiles, and eagles.
   Meanwhile, Charlotte Davies, who graduated from the Fashion and Contour course at De Montfort University in Leicester last year, will return to her Alma Mater to judge a student competition next month.
   Davies designed the swimwear line for Curvy Kate, a brand specializing in D- to K-cup lingerie. The range has gone on sale in Australia and will be sold via the UK-based Simply Beach and Lace Lingerie.
   Davies graduated from De Montfort in August 2011 and had secured her job at Curvy Kate in November 2011.
