Preen by Thornton & Bregazzi.

Founded in 1996, Justin Thornton and The Bregazzi have a joint love for all things Victoriana, a passion for recycling, and with that masculine and feminine mix in their designs. Their collection are shown on London Fashion Week.

While I was studying a Foundation, I had a live collaboration with the brand- creating campaign outcomes- with one of their Spring Summer 2016 dresses. Therefore I had to check out their sample sale at The White Space on Great Newport St!

I loved the red embroidered floral piece on the dress (as shown in the image) because red and blue are contrasting, plus I love all things embroidered. There was a wide range of selection to chose from. There were leather to soft velvets to sheer chiffon. I went quite early in the morning, therefore it wasn't overcrowded and I had room to check everything out carefully- going through each piece one by one.

Christopher Kane Sample Sale.

Christopher Kane.

In case you don't know who he is (shame on you). Christopher Kane graduated from MA Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins and partnered with his sister, Tammy Kane to launch the brand in 2006. He is now widely acknowledged to have spearheaded a revival of British high fashion.

I went to Christopher Kane Sample Sale at The Music Room today (Monday 28th November). Unfortunately, the only picture I got was the chalk board, which I personally found that someone could have done a better job at typography? maybe that's just me.

I fell in love with that dress which was in the sample sale, from Christopher Kane's Autumn/Winter 2010 collection (look 15). There was a wide selection of pieces from very neon vivid from Spring/Summer 2011, to Spring/Summer 2014 and so on. With pieces from those collections, prices ranged from cheapest being £95 to £120 and more. There were simple t-shirts from £25+. What I liked about this sample sale and location was the The Music Room is pretty spacious and had womenswear, menswear, shoes, and accessories. Much more selection to chose from compared to Roksanda's sample sale. Sadly, I didn't come out with a shopping bag, however was very nice to go see the pieces and have a thorough touch and gaze on everything.
