Secret Emporium Festival Designer Awards for the summer season 2012.......

After a crazy up and down festival summer of apocalyptic rain and blazing sunshine, the Secret Emporium has seen it's best season yet with designers blowing all expectations of talent, imagination, variety and blinding colour! 

To show our appreciation and admiration for such a high calibre of designers this year we are announcing our first roll call of awards. It has been incredibly hard to decide which designer to offer prizes to seeing as so many of you really really blew our socks off, ultimately we'd just like to keep giving you all awards and hope to give many more of you the chance in the future.

For now we have had to settle on these exceptional and outstanding independent labels to offer our particular recognition of talent.........

Oh Bestival! Our final festival event to finish off the summer - and we smashed it!!

Such an eclectic, vibrant and happy mix of cutting edge fashion and ostentatious style, such a brilliant group of designers for our final curtain call of the summer - we salute you!

With our prime location secured by the lovely Katie Maddison ( Bestival's very own superwoman) in the Magic Meadow, spitting distance from the main stage, and our tent entrance facing every beautiful sunset of the weekend (after the monsoon of early summer this year we felt this was more than deserved), it was a blinder!

Amongst our band of returning and first time labels we welcomed our final Scholar picks of the season - Isle of Wight resident guitar decorator and artist, Miranda Amapola, whose clientele include the likes of Ronnie Wood no less, and also the creative partnership of jewellery designer Tessa Metcalfe and fashion designer, Sophie Fox - such a pleasure to include these new additions into the fold.
Our resident DJs, The Weasels, came back to join us with their outrageous beats, humour and tequila fuelled energy - propping up the SE sound system like the disco soldiers they are, thank you so much boys, always a pleasure!

Our troupe of colour, spandex, tassels and magic came in the guise of.......
