Bestival, Big updates!

Click here for little bitty Sky Arts interviews with us at Bestival. EABURNS and her extraordinary body suits, unbelievable flavor of the weekend, and Zoe from Love From Hetty and Dave - big style favourites!

After muscling with the gale force winds (or small hurricane, so they say!) the SE tent made it up finally! Thank you to all our designers for being so patient and keeping spirits high. After general power and wind troubles Bestival turned out to be one of our best gigs of the summer!

A personal thanks to Katie Maddison and Ruth Dronfield for saving the day, we really couldn't have done it without you.

Some new designers to feature with us here......

The ever unique, stylish and quirky stitch-work of Love Hetty and Dave, a major seducer of the Bestival crowd.

Sara Sanskara, with her eccentric headresses and robes - techni-colours and flamboyance to pull the festival goers off the beaten track!

Vanessa Conyers, with her extraordinary ceramic work. An unlikely addition perhaps to a festival fashion market, but looking at her pieces can you hardly blame us? Everyone drooling over her electric paint-work and seductive illustrations - we have much more space for this lady in the future!

.....And finally, a popular appearance from Bombe Surprise, a sure bet to grab the attention of even the most hard-to-please guys out in the fields - ha!

Some Metro Style appreciation!

The lovely Julian Kurokawa was snapped by the Metro style press at Lovebox, wearing Feathersmith headdress and Lucy Peacock Jewellery. Brilliant article, thank you Bel Jacobs!

We've struck up a new relationship with the Wonderful Wilderness Festival.........

Some beautiful images from the inside of our tent, taken by Steph Hartop, another creative aide to dip in and out of the Emporium....

With some new additions to the Emporium's Designer network -

Midnight Deer came and joined us there, her wistful style befitting of the festival's back to the 'old country' feel -

Jumping Juniper brought kids festive fashion into the Emporium picture, oh to be 5yrs old and have a dress-up box that funky!

Little Wings with their feathery headdresses and jewellery -

Joanna Jacobs was a great addition with her Mexican/Frida Kahlo inspired jewellery

Secret Garden Party, the Big One, the one we all love and our partners in crime! We bring you THE selection, the mac-daddies of festival fashion - many wallets were emptied into very deserving designer hands. Thank you to all those who took part!

Tell Tails landed with us again, storming the festival with their eccentric tail designs

Boutique Alter Ego joined us for the first time. Newly set up, they took the festival style by storm, and their sequined hooded leotards would've made even Kylie drool!

Jobee Jo sold out completely, not surprising for the designer who can make handmade felt bunny ears the sexiest must have accessory at the festival. So much so that one erotically dressed SGP lady could be seen mixing them with her vulcanized rubber catsuit - felt and rubber? that's a first!

As soon as Jobee's site is up and running we'll post it here, but in the meantime you'll find her with us again at Wilderness Festival - http://www.wildernessfestival.com/

We had the gorgeous designs and talent of Lizzie Burns aka EABURNS. Her incredible statement jewellery pieces were snapped up immediately. Watch this space for an amazing rising talent -

We featured a bit of Bling Deenie magic on the Concept Stall, you'll find her popping up again at Bestival with her explosive party dresses.

Bang Bang Crash joined us again with their handmade animal jumpsuits and hair accessories - festival funk in the bag!

Ali Wall - pictures just won't do her nifty fingers and vintage inspired gowns any justice. She is our official Vivienne Westwood. Anyone who stumbled into the Emporium at SGP will know her stall was the ultimate treasure trove and dress-up dream! 

With a website and shop on the horizon, please contact her, ali_wall@yahoo.com for more details

Josy Flo came with her festival staple - leather embroidered wait-belts and pouches
