Northern Irish fashion designer Zoe Boomer creates beautiful clothing that can be worn effortlessly from day to evening. Each piece combines simplicity, style and luxury which most women want these days – clothing that they can dress up or down with the clever use of accessories! She designs pieces she herself loves to wear and only uses the best silks and chiffons. I’ve fallen head over heels in love with Zoe’s Spring/Summer 2010 Collection. Minimalism and femininity are fused together creating clothing you can wear over and over again!
Having styled for the fabulous Natasha Bedingfield, Zoe has gone from strength to strength in the world of fashion.
