Busy Bee!

01st April 2011
This week has been extremely busy at John Smedley. The Mills sample sale last weekend was a massive success and thank you to everyone that came along. There was a great atmosphere with everyone trying to scoop up the best bargains! To end the week we’ve had our press days at Exposure in London. Showcasing some of the leading iconic brands, Exposure’s client list range from Hunter, Toywatch to Nigel Cabourn.

Sneak Preview

Hosted over three days, this was a perfect opportunity to showcase up and coming collections and gain an insight into emerging trends for AW11.

Without giving too much away, there was extremely positive feedback from both of our AW11 collections. We are unbelievably excited for these to go live later this year.

Highlights across the two days include the up and coming jewellery brand ‘Kuka-me’. Kuka-me combines the Zulu and Northern Sotho word ‘kuka’, meaning lift up or uplift, with the English word ‘me’. The brand is about easy-to-wear sterling silver and 18ct gold jewellery accessible for anyone to wear and stamp with their own personal style. Designed and made in the UK, this brand understands the importance of sustainable fashion that will last for years. The mix of traditional design and quality make the jewellery so accessible meaning I was eyeing up pieces for myself and my mum! 

Kuka-me: Tweed collection

On sale today, Liberty and Nike’s 2011 third collaboration available exclusively at Liberty’s. Gorgeous for taking us through summer, these are on the top of my wish list to be wearing this weekend. Ice Cream, Blush and Mint SS11 colours will look AMAZING with these.
