We love Hannah Martin and business partner Nathan Morse’s secret press days. Every time you pull out a camera someone will shout ‘no pictures!’ in a fabulous, sort of but-this-is-Alaïa-darling manner. But all good things come to those who…

First off, let me just say that Bally really ought to think about reshooting their spring/summer campaign so Toby can star in it instead. Legs for days AND smizing. What more could you possibly want?
