Anybody else dress like Camila Batmanghelidjh and Molly Parkin?

[allaloneandlost]

If so, where do you shop?

Find pics of clothing you like, find the fabric and a decent dressmaker. These are not off the peg garments

Thanks, that's a good idea. They're colourful and modest clothes and while nice, I find them inspiring.

Molly Parkin on Life and Style - FasHion sToRe (fashionstore-us.blogspot.com)

Molly Parkin looks amazing! What a Goddess!

gudrun sjoden maybe?

cumolomdon - quite a few places like this

No but I was so sad recently to see CB had died. I think you have to have a certain kind of character to pull off her dress sense!

Thanks for replying.

Molly's an amazing and fellow Welsh lady. Very ahead of her time and keeps fresh. Yes, wish I had their personalities and was sorry to hear of Camila.

Thanks for the recommendations. Great clothes but oh, those prices!

Was Molly from rentaghost?

No, that was Molly Weir (formerly of Flash ads).

Witch Hazel aka The McWitch

Rentaghost was fun!

Sorry DONT LET ME DERAIL THE THREAD.

Yes.. eBay

Joanie has some quite nice kaftan dresses that might be on sale

Derail all you like!

Thanks will look there!

You're going to need some impressive headgear.

Yes, the hats are stunning.

Zandra Rhodes too ?

Do you like Monsoon's aesthetic?

buy fabric.
try fonthill road. also for hats. finsbury park.
find dressmaker.
could ask traders in above.
get creative.

Camilla said her style was influenced by her heritage. So could you look at Iranian fashion designers? (I was lucky enough to see her talk at one point. She was inspirational.)

Thanks for replying :)

Oh yes, Zandra Rhodes is very distinctive as well!

Yes to some of Monsoon's clothes as have some and the sales are good.

@alexdgr8 oh thanks, never heard of that. Will check!

Wow, Iranian fashion designers. Never thought of that!

you're welcome, OP.
i don't know anything about fashion, textiles, tailoring etc but i do know the area a little.
not so well known further afield, a useful resource.
this is a link to the kind of thing i mean, (hope it's allowed to link). it's not an advert as i don't know them, can't vouch for, but illustrative of trading activity.

if you click on the link and scroll down to the end, there is a picture of a young woman clad in her own unique style, prancing on a bollard.
it could be you !
maybe.

Oh thanks very much for such useful information!

Imagine listening to a talk by Camilla. Very inspirational lady and a one off.

Kemi Telford perhaps? Some great prints atm.
