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. She studied at the London College of Fashion and after she graduated went to work alongside one of London’s top stylists, styling for London and New York based fashion publications. Zoe has also worked at London Fashion Week and it was in 2006 that she launched her fashion label.
Each collection is created in her studio in Putney and each piece is hand-stitched with Zoe keeping a close eye on all aspects of production, approving every single garment created – dedication and passion for something she loves!
I was extremely lucky to have had a chance to interview Zoe and here is what she said…

Peal, founded in 1936 by Norman Peal, has traded in cashmere knitwear from the boutique in the exclusive Burlington Arcade for more than 70 years!
N.Peal’s commitment to quality has remained constant over the many years and the garments they produce today are created with the same care and attention.
