Vibe Bar, Brick Lane Pop Up Shop

Tuesday night was all about Music for Breakfast at Vibe Bar. An evening dedicated to give up and coming music artists and fashion brands a chance to showcase their stuff!! Set up by mimtv.com the evening was set in uber trendy Brick Lane and I was selected to showcase the Gemma Goldstone SS13 collection in the form of a pop up shop!! I am such a massive fan of fusing fashion and music as the two are so in sync an influential of each other. The stage was owned by some massively talented acts which I'm sure we will be seeing much more of in the furture and the great location brought the crowds in to check out what was going down!! So take a look at some snaps from the evening and my lovely little pop up treasure!!

Drapers Next Generation Academy 2013

So I was recently fortunate enough to nab a spot at the Drapers Next Generation Academy and had the chance to hear from some of the most successful people in the fashion industry. With key speakers such as Andy Rubin, CEO, Pentland Brands, Michael Sharp, CEO, Debenhams, Stephanie Fair, MD, The Outnet, Dan Lumb, Reiss and Paul Marchant, MD, Primark the day showed insights into all kinds of areas within the industry. For me, my favourite speaker had to be the truly inspirational story of Julie Dean, Cambridge Satchel Co. Her tale of sitting at her kitchen table with £600 and a laptop to creating a multi million pound empire captivated the entire audience, and she's just so humble!!!
 
Whilst enjoying the amazingly delicious lunch time spread I was snapped by the Drapers Street Style hunter and had a little chat about ambitions and aspirations. Here is my street style shot wearing top and bag from my SS13 collection.
