“FASHIONS FADE. STYLE IS ETERNAL” Yves St Laurent

Even the great designers disagree with being a slave to fashion. Personal style is about who you are and what you want to say to the world, whether that’s “Here I am, I’ve got something to say”, or “I’m happiest when I’m comfortable” or anything in between.
Be you.

Your signature silhouette is the outline or shape your clothing creates when you put it all together. Discovering it and making the most of it can make choosing and styling your outfits effortless.

It helps focus your shopping and cuts down on the number of garments that end up buried at the back of the wardrobe because they really don’t work for you.

Throwback to a shoot where we let creativity lead the way.

Using end-of-roll fabrics and upcycling materials, playing with shape, structure, and fluid draping exploring how each piece moves, folds, and comes to life in its own way.

Nothing wasted, everything considered. Just experimentation, process, and the beauty of making.

‘A CALM MIND BRINGS INNER STRENGTH AND SELF-CONFIDENCE, SO THAT’S VERY IMPORTANT FOR GOOD HEALTH.– Dalai Lama’

It’s really easy to chase after lots of different things to try and feel good and be healthy. Sometimes, we’re so busy cramming activities into our lives that we forget that inner calm is incredibly powerful for wellbeing.

Whether it’s time in nature, time with pets, reading, listening to music, doing art, yoga or meditation, it is well worth allowing yourself time to just be. Find out what works for you and see the difference that increased inner calm can make 🙂

It’s National Bike Week!
Check out these amazing facts about cycling.

Switching just one daily car trip to cycling or e-cycling can save about 0.5 tonnes of CO₂ per person annually.

On a national scale, shifting as much driving to e-bikes as physically possible could cut England’s car emissions by up to 50%, saving around 30 million tonnes of CO₂ every year!

If just 10% of the UK population swapped one trip per day to a bike, it would slash around 4% of all lifecycle CO₂ emissions from car travel

So, cycling more, whether on traditional bikes or eBikes, has a massive impact on CO₂ emissions. Which car journeys could you swap for bike rides?

Today, we’re celebrating British tomatoes as part of British Tomato Fortnight.

Tomatoes are a fantastic, nutritious ingredient in recipes as diverse as bruschetta and curry. They’re also a brilliant, tasty, healthy snack.

British tomatoes are even better for those of us in the UK because they have lower food miles. By choosing local, we can support the many British farmers who are growing to the highest sustainability standards.

Whilst you can buy British toms in supermarkets, why not support small business by picking them up at local markets and independent greengrocers.

Fashion is art. Fashion is fun. Fashion can be powerful. But the most important thing is the person inside the clothes….

And the people who make them.
