Creative Students
17th August, 2009
These cleverly cut breeches use a circular pattern devised by Alice Burkitt from The London College of Fashion. Below is one of her complete outfits made for her finals using Dashing Tweeds. We liked it so much Alice has kindly let us use it for advertising.

A couple of other students stand out with their ingenuity. Emma Crowther from Northumbria University has designed and made a very elegant and well conceived equestrian jacket. The Hunter tweed was used in conjuction with equesport protection.

From Leeds Chloe Mellish has been having great fun with a flamboyant womens wear range.

The dress in the foreground using The Bounder 4 is a great success, full of fun, very wearable and will last for many many years.
Summer Cycle Suit
4th July, 2009
In the summer special jacquard woven cotton we have created a rather splendid suit. The breeches are designed by award winning student Alice Burkitt who just graduated from the London College of Fashion with a first. The coat is military inspired and very practical with pockets and a reversible reflective belt.

There is also reflective fabric under the collar. We have three different colours of the cotton weave which is based on the idea of exploding tweed hounds teeth. Do email me if you would like a suit.
