The British Library inspiring fashion

Hello clubbers. Went to a lecture at the British Library last night. It was called Inspiring Entrepreneurs: Forward-thinking Fashion. The main focus was sustainable fashion (if vintage isn't "sustainable" fashion then I don't know what is) but there was also a general focus on how to set up your own business. Out of the four speakers I was most inspired by a lady called Annegret who founded a sustainable fashion brand called Choolips. I loved her approach. She was all about love. Now we all know how much I love that word lol. She started with the premise that she wanted to do something that she loved. She loved fashion and loved travel so set about travelling the world investigating ancient textile techniques, starting in Ghana. I think you can go on her website and read more about her story and her journey to success http://www.choolips.com/

Aside from that, I hadn't been to the British Library since I was a child and was dragged around there by my Dad. I'm glad I have rediscovered it though. I love books. One day when I have my humungous mansion I'll definitely have a gorgeous, traditional English library. I'll also of course have that fab walk-in wardrobe from the Sex in the City movie. Big sigh!!!



But who would have thought that the British Library was as into fashion as we are. They have every edition of British Vogue everrrrrrrrr!! I must get myself a reader pass.
