The Rise of British Manufacturing at the Lingerie Collective AW 2011!

Belinda Robertston

Fred and Ginger

Nikki Noo

Mint Siren






















Although there were loads more these had to be  my favourites!
I mean  check out the cashmere socks manufactured and woven  in Scotland  that come in a variety of colours and styles, short  and ribbed or  plain and over the knee., also they're fabulously gift boxed and  priced  start at £50 from http://www.belindarobertson.co.uk/ for AW2011.

Victoria Holt the designer behind Fred&Ginger one of my favourite designers versed in the art of elegant seduction has created the most romantic of all collections based on the Ballet Russes,  soft Pinks and Champagnes. A symphony of silk lame chiffon that glistens in its barely there hue .... bras , briefs and shifts are all given her special magic potion for the AW2011.

Nikki Noo`s very simple full and half slips are just a real steal  starting at £50 they are just about the only thing around for this kind of garment...plus also can conceivably double as a summer shift dress on the beach with flats!

Mint Siren by Josefine Wing is a stylists dream inspired by the 70s Peace and Love movement  uses a light neutral colour for SS11 and the whole back to nature theme. Particularly loving the Love Poncho and Bikini briefs  Not forgetting her popular leather strap accessories!

All these terribly talented designers are made in the UK. Now who said that manufacturing in the UK was
dead ..............definitely not in lingerie my darlings !!

My Favourite things this Xmas

ILLAMASQUA- British, Independent flippin AMAZING colours..also for BOYS!

Obviously Illamasqua has been around coming up to a year now, with shops in Selfridges and Beak street! But I really haven’t really had a  proper chance to see close up. So SHOCK, SURPRISE at the press event of Lucy in disguise I was introduced to the PIGMENTS by the hand of Clare one of their chief make up artists!(she is based at the Beak street shop). WOW!  Certain to rival MAC. Made by Kryolan the German Giant for makeup artists who in their 60years of being have not tested on Animals once! Policy!
Not sure where to begin.......... Foundations long lasting with complete cover!  Silver, Gold metallic eye shadow intense!
Colour ranges extensive and bright. Pricing starting at £14 upwards so pretty affordable!
But my favourite really are the eyelashes (check Clare`s above) they’re really hitting the spot,  had to rush out at buy for all my  gorgeous girls !

Finally SNOW! my Plasticana Hemp wellies stand the test!

With their gorgeous caramelly colour my fantastic Plasticana wellies certainly are eye catching! Plus they are seriously comfortable! No chaffing what so ever!! Developed by the amazing French genius Andre Ravachol mixing hemp fibres with into a recycled vinyl concoction! (note technicality is not my forte) they are beautiful!
Also amazingly cheap and can be picked up (at the moment) at the N2 concept store in Covent Garden,73 Monmouth Street, WC2H 9DJ and  just for £45!



LOVE GOD HATE RELIGION- My favourite tee for this Xmas

I am just so loving this new addition to the family of THTC tees that I GOT ONE! £22 for this fab  organic tee! Which does make you stop to think  `More blood is spilt in the name of religion than any other cause`.

NEED I SAY MORE! except that this Saturday only, THTC have an amazing sample sale where most tees will be down to £10 (ok maybe not this one) and jeans from £100 to £30. Last minute Xmas shopping anyone????
