I've been a very bad Blogger recently, although hopefully I will be excused, as life, completely orientated by fashion of course, has been hectic... but I'm not complaining!

I have just returned today from a few fantastic days down in Somerset on work experience with Phoebe Garlick, founder and design genius of Henry Hunt.What an amazing experience it was as well!  I have learnt so much and gained a fabulous insight into the brilliant brand and the industry. I was lucky enough to see the great new Autumn/ Winter collection of which the pre collection is online now !http://www.henryhunt.co.uk/

Among many things I have learnt these past few days my appreciation of the quality of garments and the care and talent that is involved in them has escalated and one element which makes Henry Hunt's garments even more special than most is their support of local businesses by sourcing materials etc. from in and around Somerset. No doubt this is partly due to the lovely personalities of the family who run Henry Hunt who I had the pleasure of meeting this week.

From what I've seen and heard their fashion show was a great success where three different collections were released. This included The Jubilee Collection of one off beautifully hand crafted dresses which celebrate the brands country of origin in this very special year, each personally, preciously made by Phoebe herself.There is no doubt that an owner of one of these desirable dresses would themselves feel like jewels in it! http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=10151018279184032&set=a.430495769031.227277.185319199031&type=1&theater

The achievements of Henry Hunt, and Phoebe has inspired me further to follow my fashion dreams. The success of the fashion show has given me courage for my charity fashion show this coming Tuesday !

Thank you Henry Hunt !
