Drawing the Veil

I’ve always been drawn to subtle gauzy veils in fashion; since I was 15 looking at pictures of Marlene Dietrich or the New Romantics of the 80’s, or the veils of the late Victorian’s perched hats. I love the air of mystery and soft focus beauty a veil or a veiled hat suddenly brings a woman. A little taste of other worldliness and beauty, for a special occasion or outfit. When it comes to bridal…

Upcycling and Craft Workshop in London- Customize Your Own Turban or Beret with Lucy February

Would you like to learn how to customize? To take something off the peg or that’s been languishing at the back of your wardrobe and make it into something totally special and of your own making?  I have always loved making unique, covet-able pieces from almost nothing, just some skills and imagination and it’s so much more fun when done in a group – a craft social I call it.

Would you like to learn how to customize? To take something off the peg or that’s been languishing at the back of your wardrobe and make it into something totally special and of your own making?  I have always loved making unique, covet-able pieces from almost nothing, just some skills and imagination and it’s so much more fun when done in a group – a craft social I call it. I have some really special pieces I’m excited about and would like to share with you, so please look again in the coming weeks and months and I’ll be featuring some of the knitting, upcycling, embroidery and hand applique-ing pieces I’ve been working on. I promise you it will be worth it!

So in the spirit of learning, creativity I have recently set a date this December (the 17th) for an afternoon sewing, craft, upcycling workshop.  Learn some basic stitches and start customizing and embellishing your own amazing turban or beret to take home with you.

If you’d like to know more please take a look at the event page here; https://www.facebook.com/events/421482761308780/

About me, Lucy February:

I’m a fashion designer and stylist based in London. After studying for my BA Hons in fashion design at the University of Westminster, I interned with Christopher Kane and Stephen Jones, to name but a couple, before beginning my own line of hand crafted, handmade, often one off bespoke pieces of women’s wear and accessories.

I’m passionate about hand making and upcycling things to make them unique/to tell their own story and not throwing our oddments out on the heap but putting them to new life. I love painting over things, crude and fine embroidery, couture applique, juxtaposition, trans-mutating trash to glory treasure, sewing old vintage things into or onto new luxury like a kind of couture inspired and lovely chimera. If you can’t bear to be seen in something everyone else has but lack the resources, come to me and we will outwit them all ha ha!:)

Style Consultation

Trends seemed to be designed for hardened capitalist machinery, a kind of cog in a mechanical fashion robot. Boring ! You’d be a mug to follow when you could just play to your own advantage, rules and in your own good time and bank balance. But not everyone has the time to invest in developing a workable and wonderful look/wardrobe for themselves or their work role – and like it or not we do live…

My personal philosophy with styling is make the client, the wearer their best possible self, their happiest and most confident self. Not impressing my ideas onto them regardless of whether it suits or pleases them. In short to listen and to look.

I once met a young beautiful woman, a bride to be, some one pretty who was a little shy of embracing her confidence  and obvious (to me) potential beauty. She was about to embark on her wedding day in an over sized, out dated frumpy dress and I’m glad to say that idea was solidly put to rest after a chat and an elegant dress and happy bride blossomed instead.

Here is a word from the lady herself and some lovely pictures;

“I am eternally grateful for the help and advice I received from Lucy. I personally found entering bridal shops incredibly daunting and often quite unfriendly places, which is a shame as let’s face it after the cake (and marrying the love of your life) the dress is the best bit. After some bad advice I was sold a larger than life princess wedding dress. I was never in love with my dress and leading up to my wedding I had lost quite a lot of weight. This left me with a dilemma the dress no longer fits! This is when Lucy came to the rescue a friend had recommended Lucy as she might be able to alter the dress and advise me on what to do. Lucy came to my parents’ home and I was instantly put at ease. Unlike the women I had encountered in bridal shops Lucy didn’t make me feel uncomfortable or push her opinions on me. She listened to what I liked and my plans for the day and she suggested ideas based on this and what would suit my figure. After several cups of tea and a lot of talking and looking at different ideas I came to the conclusion that a new dress was in order. With Lucy’s advice and guidance I was able to go wedding dress shopping with a clear idea of what I wanted and most importantly what would suit me.  And thanks to Lucy I ended up with my dream dress.”
