The cowgirl will always be cool. She’s a rebel, she’s tough and she’s sexy. Oh, to look cool on a hot summers day. I love this cowgirl - western inspired dress by Gant. Think Annie Get Your Gun - perfect for a festival!

Gant Flagship store launch on Regent Street
Posted by Rebekah Roy on February 5th, 2010
Gant has opened its first UK flagship store in London on Regent Street and last night they celebrated the store opening. The menswear mainline collection is on the ground floor and on first floor there is women, children and home. Gant is quite a preppy brand but it doesn’t feel quite feel American Preppy - it has more of a European feel of preppy. It seems to take it’s influences from fashion trends rather than traditional American university looks…All the staff were wearing gingham - a nod to Christopher Kane.
I do like the visual merchandising and all the little stories that can be found in the different rooms.
Ice cream, endless pink cocktails made with jam and a fabulous DJ make a great launch party!

Last night I went to a fabulous dinner at Sketch to celebrate Gant’s new creative director. - Brian Rennie. Brian Rennie was previously the designer behind legendary fashion house Escada. Brian is charming and you can’t help but adore him, not just because of his accent but because of his gentle demeanour. Brain and his partner had just finished building their dream house in Scotland, he was looking forward to enjoying a long, quite life there. Yet, somehow he couldn’t resist the temptation to work with Gant - he truly envisioned their potential and now finds himself living and working in Stockholm. The new collection has some wonderful tartan shirts - influenced by Rennie’s Scottish heritage - he’s originally from Dundee. He’s added a long dress to the Cruise Collection, the whole collection has been updated creating a luxury lifestyle brand.
