Pamflet had their first salon evening, with Luella Bartley at Drink Shop & Do. It was a lovely evening, with wine and cake and Luella reading a series of exerpts from her book, Luella’s Guide to English Style.

It really felt like a true Pamflet Salon when Stuart Vevers, Creative Director of Loewe, and Love Magazine editor Katie Grand showed up to support her BFF.

I’m part of a panel discussion, which focuses on fusing traditional and modern dress with Swarovski Elements. The panel includes the designer to the Sheikha in Kuwait, London’s Maria Grachvogel, and Swarovski’s head of trend and design, Ute Schumacher and it’s chaired by FBC’s Courtney Blackman. It’s quite an exciting event as it will explore culture, history and how traditional wear is become more mainstream through modern design and embellishment.

FBC board member and Editor of Vogue.co.uk Dolly Jones talks with model Laura Bailey at Fashion Business Club. The discussion focused on Laura’s career as a model, a mother and her eco work. Laura’s been the face of Jaeger, done campaigns for Ray-Ban, L’Oreal, Temperley, Jaguar and Marks & Spencer and this year she’s been designing for the accessory brand Made. Laura is also a freelance journalist – she’s written for Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Glamour, GQ, The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Times Style and she also write regularly for Vogue.co.uk’s The Green Style Blog and Laura Baily’s Blog.
Without intending to, Laura has become the voice (and face) of ethical fashion. On a dare Bailey climbed Kilimanjaro mountain in aid of the charity Kids Company, and she’s been a Barnardo’s ambassador for over six years. She’s traveled to Kenya and Nepal as an ambassador for The Fairtrade Foundation. Laura’s done so many extraordinary things and yet she’s very down to earth – the girl next door. She makes you realize that sustainability isn’t just something that the middle class or the rich can buy into but it’s everyone’s responsibility and everyone can contribute. We can purchase our clothes in charity shops, we can recycle, we can buy clothes that last several generations, we can use eco taxis and we can ride our bike. We can all make small significant changes.
One of the most important topics of the discussion was the importance of design. This London Fashion Week there were many ethical designers showing on the catwalk including the Sustainable Fashion Show, which is part of Prince Charles’s START initiative, and there were other presentations as well. Sustainability automatically gives a product a great story and a story helps sell products. The one issue that both Dolly and Laura talked about was the importance of design. People will not buy fashion solely because it’s sustainable or eco friendly, they will buy it because of the design and because it’s eco friendly.

Michael Herz, creative director of womenswear at Bally, interviewed stylist and editor of i-D Magazine Edward Enninful at the latest Fashion Business Club meeting. Edward had some wonderful advice for all of you who’d like to be stylist: “Don’t give up. It may take you ten years to make any money…but if you’re only in it to make money then you’re in the wrong career.” and “Keep testing, testing, testing! The more you style the better you get!” Words of wisdom!
