Bold arrival of Sarah Ho

ECA fashion graduate Sarah Ho collection has arrived in the shop this week to inject some serious colour and bold shapes into the store this month. Graduating this year from the Edinburgh College of Art, new designer Sarah Ho is extremely determined and is focused on one day having her own boutique with her name above the door.
Sarah is a fun and energetic designer and I think this reflects in this collection. The collection in her own words is about, "simple cuttings and cut-outs. I was influenced by architectural minimalism the idea of structural, angular formation. My concept is exploring the issues of intersecting shapes".
She explains her theories based on the the nostalgia of the computer games Tetris, this giving her inspiration of interconnecting shapes of bright and bold colours.

We are really please to have Sarah Ho in the showroom not only for her block colour injection bringing smiles to faces but the fact that there is definitely a great future for this very determined designer, she is one to watch.

First came to online shop of accessories and now finally I am pleased to say I have made a start on posting up some hand picked vintage treats on the store for you, spurred on by the success of selling on ASOS marketplace!
Here is the first installments on the store and I promise to keep posting some of the best that comes our way.
Feedback is always appreciated and here at Godiva we do want to give you want you want so do let us know.
Thanks to photographer Meghan Gibion who spends most of her time behind the camera than in front, for so sweetly modelling these frocks.
Have a good weekend!

Jewellery Bird flies into Godiva this summer

Its that time of year again where I spend most of my day redirecting plastic poncho wearing people around the city and say no to performance flyers, yes its the festival! well it's just round the corner and we are busy at Godiva restocking for all the lovely tourists coming to town. This year we have some really pretty things in to catch their castle spotting eyes.
It's been a great year so far for Jewellery and here is the latest addition to the cabinet! am sure these silver silhouette animals will please more than a few magpies. My personal favourite the Highland Cow come as a necklace or a brooch. All pieces are hand-made from quality hallmarked sterling silver here in Scotland.
Designed and created by Willa vin Klitzing for her label Jewellery Bird. Its a label inspired by nature. This collection is limited edition and so very reasonably priced at £60-65!
Welcome to Godiva Jewellery Bird. x
