We’re smack in the middle of Halloween planning, and I’m pondering whether to take a bold fashion move, embracing the contrasting hues of Cruella de Vil.

Unleashing the Origins of a Fashion Maverick
Our modern-day Cruella, originally known as Estella Miller, wasn’t born into privilege or villainy. Her childhood, marked by a tempestuous nature, was abruptly scarred by tragedy when she witnessed her mother’s death, believed to be caused by provoked Dalmatians. Seeking refuge in London, young Estella found companionship with Horace and Jasper and even took steps to blend in, dying her iconic hair. Her entry into the fashion world was no less dramatic, her talent catching the eye of the famed Baroness von Hellman, only to realize their pasts were entwined in a tale of betrayal and secrets. Adopting the alter ego ‘Cruella’, Estella started her vengeful journey against the Baroness, culminating in a flamboyant takeover of the Baroness’s fashion empire.
