A LITTLE BIT OF LACE....



We love the texture, contrast and hint of nostalgia that you get from lace and so haven't been able to resist putting together a small collection to reflect one of the biggest trends around....see our moodboard for inspiration plus a snapshot of some of our samples...

AUTUMN WINTER PHOTOSHOOT









We have just finished our shoot for the winter "High Voltage" collection which features models Charlie, Emily & Milly - all captured beautifully by photographer Francesca Renny. She has done our work justice - these are just a few of the lovely images that used the industrial style basement of CC studios as location.

AUTUMN WINTER INSPIRATION

We can feel some glitter action coming on.....
Taking 1970's GLAM ROCK as my inspiration I naturally sought some fantastic fabric for the new collections and at a supplier in London's west end I happened upon an old colleague who now works as display manager there and she has very kindly sorted out these brilliant samples. Check out the spangles and the gorgeously murky metallics....I can't wait to turn these into some amazing accessories.
