Spring 2009 will see the grand opening of one of the UK’s most impressive designer outlets aptly named Gloucester Quays. It’s cost a huge £400m but promises to not disappoint.
As the name suggests, it’s a waterfront development (similar to Gunwharf Quays) and is a huge retail and leisure development that will house hotels, cinema, waterside bars, apartments, offices and of course home to some gorgeous fashion brands.
There’s no firm word on the retailers that will be there as yet, but with 100 retail outlets a fashionista certainly shouldn’t struggle for choice.
Star of The Bill and Hollyoaks Ali Bastian is supporting Teenage Cancer Trust by modelling new collections by Board Angels and Kangaroo Poo. These collections are being sold in aid of the charity at MandMDirect.com.
Premium leg wear brand Aristoc, have teamed up with fellow Derbyshire clothing brand John Smedley in a new, “Best of British” collaboration, creating the highest quality tights, socks and knee highs for the Autumn season ahead.
Whilst browsing online for a new pair of shades, I have found this great website called In Eyewear.
Apart from an extensive collection of designer sunglasses, including Tom Ford, Roberto Cavalli and cult brand LA Eyeworks, the InEyewear website features Revolutioneyes - a completely new genre of virtual shopping that’s both fun and easy to use.
The complete range encompasses affordable shoes (designed in three colours and priced at around £49), six dresses (around £69), three skirts (around £49), eight tops, three coats, one tailored waistcoat (around £35) and four pairs of trousers.
Introducing an array of dark purples, electric navy, textured greys and some rather swish tailoring, this year’s Autumn / Winter wardrobe is all about fun bold statements. The range is cleverly styled for different body shapes in the way T & S do very well.
Trinny and Susannah said:“Our exclusive collection for Littlewoods Direct is something that we love doing and feel passionate about. We are so excited about our Autumn/Winter range - plum, berry and navy are great colours this season. It is hard to pick our favourites but we really love the black double breasted coat, tailored herringbone waistcoat and pencil skirt. We can’t wait to create new looks with the shoes in the collection – they’re absolutely gorgeous!”
