Stalked: Katie Lightfoot, Fashion Agent and Fashion Designer Of Mercy Delta
17 November 2014
I have to admit I'm a real sucker for a silk shirt, especially the beautiful veriety that the brand Mercy Delta has to offer. The designer behind the brand started it after her love of fashion became too much for her not to become a designer herself. Please meet Katie, the brains and talent behind Mercy Delta and the fashion agent of the likes of Sunday Somewhere.
What do you do and what's the coolest aspect about it?
What do you do and what's the coolest aspect about it?
I'm a fashion agent and designer with my own label, Mercy Delta. Manufacturing is pretty full on, and there is not much time for glamour. But I love meeting with the many buyers who’ve become friends over the years. They are the cool side of my business!
My Winter Whites: An Interview With Lavender Hill Clothing
15 November 2014
Now, who says that whites should be kept for summer? There's nothing I love more than donning a pair of white jeans and a gorgeous crisp white t-shirt with a massive winter coat for a weekend walk in the country. Often the issue is finding that simple basic t-shirt that once you've found the perfect one will go with everything under the sun!
Drum roll... please may I introduce the new kids on the block for beautiful simplistic t-shirts that are amazing quality,the Lavender Hill Clothing company! The brand was launched in 2013
by 24 year old Isobel Ridley with the aim of creating simple, luxurious,
attractive and affordable pieces which you will want to wear everyday.
I caught up with Isobel to find out how she wears hers...
Why did you decide to
start a t-shirt company?
I was finding it difficult to buy good quality, flattering essentials for an affordable price.

Back To Basic Stalking: The Culotte
14 November 2014
While popping to Somerset House recently to check out their new Fashioning Winter exhibition, I bumped into this very stylish lady who works for Matches Fashion. The main reason I stalked her was because of her divine culottes and Acne sneakers.
Although some may call the culotte a real 'man repeller', us girls in fashion love them, team them with a gorgeous pair of sneakers for ultra comfort and style, or with kitten heels for that slightly smarter look.
Stalked: Hattie Buzzard, Knitwear Designer.
10 November 2014
Recently I had the pleasure of meeting a very talented and recent
Fashion Textiles graduate from London College of Fashion, Hattie Buzzard.
Hattie specialises in knitwear design and exploring processes of felting to
sculpt and manipulating the surfaces of her knit - creating unique and unexpected
fabrics. Intrigued by human to object relationships, her work is often based on
ideas of encouraging a more lasting connection to our possessions.
I caught up with her to talk about what is next for this talented designer.
What do you do and
what do you love about your job?
I am currently working
on developing my own accessory range, comprising mostly of statement
scarves / collars and clutch bags. Each piece is unique and hand crafted on my
own knitting machine. The textures and surfaces within my work are created
through the process of felting each piece once it has been knitted. My
favourite thing about being creative is the feeling you get in that moment when
you discover something amazing in a new technique or process.
Stalked: Daisy Knights, Jewellery Designer.
3 November 2014
There are a few designers that have nailed the world of instagram and Daisy is one of them! Her life through the world of the instagram lens is as enchanting (and encapsulating) as her designs.
Since graduating from Central Saint Martins, Daisy Knights has established herself as the go-to brand for British designer jewellery. Her signature rock and roll, luxury bohemian style has cemented a celebrity following including; Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Cara Delevingne, Rihanna, Rita Ora and Laura Bailey. Daisy’s ethereal designs are regularly featured in top fashion magazines; with fashion editors giving standout acclaim to her designs. There is no doubting that this lovely lady is one to follow.
Why do you love designing jewellery and why did you want to be a designer?
I learnt from my father who was a hobby silversmith - I made my first ring with him when I was 11 - it was a shared passion and continues to be. I enjoy seeing my designs become a reality.
