British style has always been a strong representation of what us Brits do best – diversity, rebellion and creativity. Ever since Vivienne Westwood, the Queen of Punk, burst on the scene 30 years ago, it is clear us Britons do style which cannot be beaten. Our willingness to disrupt, subvert a tradition of which we are proud whilst letting rules be broken is what put us on the map and enabled fellow eccentrics and fresh talents to follow suit and continue to reign supreme.Brittique aims to continue this legacy and enable raw British talent to showcase their work on this unique boutique and show the world why it is us who set the trend. Revealing their autumn/ winter collections is a specially selected array of designers including Camilla Staerk and Craven Gene to name a few.
Camilla Staerk oozes sexuality and diversity with her A/W 06 collections as featured on Brittique.com. With her black, edgy rock chick-esque cigarette pants and Victorian inspired blouses, along with coloured hues of purple, cream, citrus lemon and deep maroon, it is little wonder this lady is every fashionista’s dream.
Craven Gene takes prim and improper to another level in its A/W 06 collection. It combines demure dresses and buttoned up collars with louche satins, luxurious velvets and delicate laces. Combining these looks with bombers, full skirted coats, tailored jeans and oversized cashmere capes, it is as dramatic as it is sexy.
Both represent what British style is all about and are showcased alongside many other fabulous names and their A/W 06 collections such as, Aei:Kei, Aimee McWilliams, Alessandra Ferreira, Amanda Wakeley, Anna Wadsworth, Deal and Wire, Finsk, Gil Carvalho, Julia Clancey, LucyJ, Maria Grachvogel, Nicola de Main, Sado, The Branch, Tuginc,Vinnie Day and Wilbur&Gussie.
