‘Tis the season to be stylish! I’m super excited to tell you about Rock Shic’s newest collaboration with Young British Designers, recently ranked amongst the Top 50 Fashion Insiders of the UK.
As you know, I love artsy and edgy fashion, and I am all for supporting independent emerging designers, some of whom have been featured on Rock Shic. I believe that the fresh eye, creativity, and sharp awareness these folks bring to both the fashion and art space is what ultimately drives this ever-evolving and competitive industry. Maybe it’s the artist-daughter spirit in me, but I’ve always had a strong penchant for small boutiques over large department stores.
In any case, this is Rock Shic’s first international collaboration to date, as it features a broad and unique spectrum of various designers – Jasper Garvida, Felicity Brown, Kinder Aggugini, Eudon Choi, and Jean Theo, to list a few (all Brits, of course!). Fitting too – as hubby was also born in England. As a matter of fact, I’ve always looked upon the UK quite fondly… I’m not sure what it is (certainly not the weather!). There is just something so fundamentally chic and gritty about the pulse of the country, which definitely sets it apart from its European counterparts. I believe this teaser video from @YBDfashion says it all!
Over the years, I’ve also seen many good friends and colleagues relocate to London, partially due to the weakening U.S. market, and partly because… well it’s just so-darn convenient for the adventurous, jet-setting crowd! Ryanair, anyone? There’s also a part of me that secretly believes that one day, hubby and I will retire back in the UK (though he is still lobbying pretty hard for New Zealand).
At any rate, look for more features on Young British Designers from Rock Shic to come! And Happy Wednesday & Rockefeller Tree Lighting!
