The Sunday Herald October & November

Thanks to the great styling work of Carrie McAdam who assisted Eva Arrighi on these 2 shoots for the last couple of weekend for the The Sunday Herald Godiva has once again dominated the features.

A favourite of mine and of many people due to the number of phone calls I have had since Sunday, is the grey suit with matching bag and hat. These vintage pieces were acquired from the lovely Mrs Tutton collection. Thank god for vintage horders. I love the fact it came with the matching accessories, really don't see enough of that nowadays!!

When Godiva met Biba

Last night us Godiva Girls went to a screening of the Independent film called Beyond Biba which can only be described as spending an hour in the company of of Barbara Hulanicki, the founder of one of the most iconic shops ever and one of my personal boutique icons. The film was more about here life after Biba that was cruelly ended in the 70's. Barbara now follows a passion for interior design, after the interior triumph that put Biba on the map, and works full time in Miami. It shows what ever you put your hand to you can do with great style and flare. The highlight of the night was that Barbara was actually there for a Q & A session afterwards and we had the pleasure of actually meeting and her and I spoke to her personally about running an independent store!! This has to be one of the highlights of of my life and I am still smiling. She was such a down to earth and beautiful lady and I was so pleased to get the chance to met her and to introduce her to Godiva. After I got a signature on one of the Godiva flyers I gave her one and she did insist she would be looking up the website soon. So I will keep you posted!

Nostalgic nod to Melanie Griffith Working Girl

These now tea dresses were Maxi's but the clever sewers in the studio have been chopping, hemming and customising to create some top quality and edgy recycled vintage designs. Additionally this year I have brought in the late 80's early 90's pencil skirt! used to despise these hip hugger skirts but this year I am in love and they are flying out the door. Teamed with ankle boots and an 80's tee it's works and somewhat of a nostalgic nod to the look of Melanie Griffith in Working girl.
