Urban spark at Fash/On event Portsmouth

We at Urban Spark are going to be showcasing our 'jules collection'on the catwalk at a local fashion event to us in Southsea. The event is going to be held on the 8th of October at Portsmouth university, Eldon Building. We shall also be having a stall where you can purchase our jules. I, Nikki S, am helping organise the event so am really looking forward to it as we can meet other Southsea retailers (including Rokii, dead man's glory, deluded, style and the city, beautiful me, individual threads etc) So if our local to Southsea please do come along.

Oooo la London fashion week ! S/S 2010

For the past four seasons I've been lucky enough to check out all the action from behind the scenes at LFW, working backstage. It's always pretty wild with broken shoes, smudged makeup, lost shorts, blood on clothing (stupid women) etc etc. Here's some snaps I managed to get at various shows from S/S 10, including Basso and Brooke, Henry Holland, Richard Nicolls, Louise Goldin and Redbull fashion factory. As luck would have it, my camera decided to be a pain the asssss and go all blurry on me. I personally think it makes it all look a little dreamy.

At the Richard Nicolls show I was able to get a cheeky picture of a beautiful Chinese model I was dressing, wearing a bit of Spark jewellery. Think she works the lamina well!

Red bull factory show -graduate show

The Gradute show held by The Redbull fashion factory I thought was the most impressive as with these designers, there are no restrictions, always ambitious. The scale of the dresses blew me away! The models were so elegant and walked beautifully and with grace, it was amazing..especially with the size of heel they were subjected to.

Bryony Fripp

Bryony Fripp graduate from Bournemouth University (not far from our neck of the woods) has created beautifully quaint illustrations that are elegantly adorable and make us feel as if we are looking at poetry in drawn form.

We were lucky enough to be at the UNTOLD event this week and met her after already admiring the illustrations she had done for the event earlier that day. Although, now after seeing her website I feel that she was keeping these lovely gems hidden away! These prints/illustrations on clothes are a dream boat! I just had to share with you!
