Now even I have to admit that I do not cover myself with tweed everyday! My love for tweed is huge and I do usually have a tweed bag or accessory but only the most eccentric can carry off the head to toe tweed look on a daily basis. Whilst I was setting up the TweedVixenBoutique I searched high and low for gorgeous British Fashion that was actually made in Britain. This is a very difficult task as so many labels that call themselves British are in fact made abroad but designed in the UK. I support buying British to make sure that your garments are not only well made and beautiful but are also ethically sourced, environmentally friendly and to encourage local manufacturing. I was delighted when I met Chrissy Adamou the director and owner of Pink Flame and even more pleased when she agreed for her collections to be sold in the Boutique. She set up Pink Flame in 2010 and has created beautiful wearable collections for all body types. Her clothes are a great mix of sexy, tight in the right places and soft draping. AW2012 includes fantastic PVC leggings which look so good teamed up with a tweed coat and the ultimate little black dress which demands to be worn with a fitted tweed jacket.
“Made in the UK, my clothes make women feel beautiful, feminine, carefree, untouchable…I want my clothes to empower women in whatever lifestyle they choose to have; whatever their shape or age.” Chrissy Adamou
Pink Flame can be found in the TweedVixen Boutique
