Links of London appoints Elizabeth Galton as Creative Director

Links of London is pleased to announce the appointment of new Creative Director, Elizabeth Galton. Elizabeth joins the brand during a very exciting period of development and growth. Her arrival marks another significant milestone in the brand’s program of evolution and expansion. Flagship store openings are planned in China and Japan for 2008, following on from successful openings in Athens and Dubai at the end of 2007.

Prior to joining Links of London, Elizabeth had focused on developing her own jewellery brand for which she has received much praise and recognition. In 2006 and 2007, Elizabeth was short-listed for UK ‘Jewellery Designer of the Year’. Elizabeth has carved a reputation as an acclaimed British jewellery talent known for luxury fashion jewellery and accessories.

A graduate of the Royal College of Art, Elizabeth has exhibited her work at exclusive galleries and stores worldwide, including The Victoria and Albert Museum’s ‘Collect’ Exhibition. She has also received many prestigious accolades from the Jewellery Industry and is a visiting lecturer at the University of The Arts, the London College of Fashion and Central St Martin’s.
 
Following the departure of Annoushka Ducas, Elizabeth has been tasked with looking forward to the next stage of growth and design evolution for the brand. Product diversification has already begun with the launch of the Links of London watch collection last Autumn. There are plans to introduce other new product ranges as well as increasing and diversifying the women’s and men’s jewellery offering.

‘I have always hugely admired and respected the Links of London brand and am delighted to accept the role as Creative Director. I look forward to the exciting challenges and times ahead and hope to bring innovation and a fresh perspective to the brand at the same time as maintaining its originality and distinct personality.’
