Champamalini

Champamalini is a Sanskrit name meaning 'She who wears a garland of champa flowers'. The champa flower is a wonderfully fragrant and exquisite flower that grows on the champak tree of India. 

The Champamalini range is a little collection of customised vintage clothes designed with the wearer in mind. They are delightful handpicked pieces with something special added just like a flower garland! Champamalini will also be launching a 'ready to wear' collection later in the year based on the designs of the 30s, 40s and 50s. Champamalini also offers a unique dressmaking and alterations service so you can get the vintage look tailor-made especially for you! Please contact us for more information. We would love to hear from you! 

Thread Army

Thread Army is Rebecca Ridgers. Bex quit the corporate treadmill to become a full-time Mum and all round better person. Whilst being at home she found she had time to explore her creative side to set forth in discovering the wonderful world of crochet. Whilst happy making large patterned and boldly coloured pieces, she found more satisfaction in making smaller and smaller crocheted items and eventually settled on a very individual style of micro crochet using tiny needles. These pieces of crocheted jewelry are unique and lovingly crafted in the fabulous city of Brighton.

Kate Moss' Wedding Dress....

 

 

Fashion icon, Kate Moss, got married over the weekend to The Kill's guitarist, Jamie Hince. It was a 3 day event which included a mini festival, MossStock, with performances from Beth Ditto, Snoop Dog, Shirley Bassey, Iggy Pop and Bryan Ferry. 

I was on tender hooks to find out what Moss would be wearing as her wedding dress and was pleased to find out it was a vintage inspired dress by John Galliano. On first sight I thought it looked a little understated (maybe the Royal Wedding had got to my head a bit too much) but on further inspection I noticed there was beautiful gold detail in the trail and veil which goes perfectly with Moss' bohemian look. Moss also wore Manolo Blahnik heels which had a hidden something blue and her Maid of Honour's dress was designed by Stella McCartney. The groom was also looking fabulous in a custom grey suit by Stefano Pilati for Yves Saint Laurent making Moss and Hince a very good looking newly married couple.

The bridesmaids looked fabulous and carried on the bohemian look especially with their hair accessorised with flower head bands. These are very on trend at the moment and they go well with "MossStock" as I saw these every where at Glastonbury.

What do you think of Kate Moss' dress? I definitely think it is one that grows on you more and more.
