Press...in other words..ME ME ME!

So.....we've had quite a few press pieces now, so I thought It'd be nice to lay it out there on one page and revel in it!  Self involved as that may sound, why not!!  A bit of self indulgence is always a nice confidence boost!

It all started with articles in the Manchester Evening News and Wilmslow Express (local, yes, but no press is bad press!).....Although the collection looked fabulous, I couldn't say the same when I saw my cheesy little grin in newsprint!  Aaaah well...that was kind of inevitable...no amount of good dentistry can make you photogenic!  You've either got it or you don't...whatever IT is.

Next we had our Vintage afternoon tea party at the Sanderson Hotel, about which uber cool (and uber friendly) Stylist and Blogger Anne Look was kind enough to write a lovely little blog...well the cakes were super tasty!


Wonderbra and Britain's next top model live were next, and that saw my good self giving talks to lots of excited ladies at the show on each day...nerve wracking to say the least!!  Had lots of fun though and Wonderbra is such a fantastic company to be associated with!  The free trip to Paris with their competition winner helped also!

2011, is all about flying the flag for vintage clothing in my home town of Manchester, so the wonderful lady at online magazine Manchester confidential was my next port of call!  We had a lovely old chat about myself (never get tired of talking about ME!) and the future of vintage..interesting question I hadn't ever thought about!  Better start planning for the future...can't see us all recycling our H & M china made vests in 30 years time..bugger!


What's next??  Well, given the potential impending introduction of our clothing into House of Fraser London Oxford St store, I'm hoping lots of the nationals with be beating down my door trying to talk to the owner of the company that delivered HOF's first ever vintage clothing line!  And if not, Ill have to hound them myself!
