Beard+Bow


Dress c/o Beard + Bow // Cardigan - Auntie Shirley's // Lipstick - Collection 2000 in Valentine

What better way to warm up on a winters day than to brighten everything up. Beard+Bow promote, retail and grow UK design talent. They have a passion for creativity and individuality and they created Beard+Bow as a creative online platform to celebrate the UK's top talents. Creators Charlene and Jamie spend most of their time between Manchester's Northern Quarter and Shoreditch you will find them either at an underground gig or hunting out vintage gems in backstreet thrift stores. After years of searching they decided to scout out the talents themselves and create a place where independent designers and artists alike could express themselves and been seen. 
Beard+Bow are hoping to be the one stop scene for fresh UK design and with great designers already under their belts I'm really looking forward to seeing what their SS13 range brings, due to be launched in the coming weeks.

This dress is by one of the UK's most exciting retro inspired designers. Trollied Dolly was created by sisters with a passion for pretty dresses and wine, lots of it. Taking retro designs and giving them a modern revival. Their belief that life should be loud and vibrant echo's though their beautiful choice of materials and print. I instantly fell in love with this winter wonder, the colour of this dress is like no other red you will ever see, you stand out, it's sassy without being over the top, and the delicate robin print is perfect for the snowy days we have been having of late. 

If you like to be individual and not one to adhere to the masses or you're a budding designer head over to Beard+Bow and see for yourself the wonder that awaits.
