Mozcau

Headed by two wonderful ladies, Mozcau, coming from the Polish word ‘Moscow’ is a  Polish  womenswear brand which  showcased an amazing range of  dresses and body suits and separates, there was a fascinating mix of textures and fabrics; leather, lace, suede, even corduroy.

They also have a leisure range which consisted of unisex T-shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts all of which were designed by  the owner’s boyfriend.  As usual the black and white photo images instantly caught my eye as did the interestingly weird t-shirt-sweatshirt hybrid they’d created.

Three | Sixty

I was a little surprised when the Brand Director Hassan told me that the brand had been around for 13 years considering he only looked about 20 himself, but was intrigued to find out that it was originally started by his father and his brothers in 1997 as a boardwear brand. 10 years later Hassan asked to take the brand into his own hand and set about re-branding Three Sixty as  a graphic streetwear brand. This was their debut collection and they’ve used to help expose the world the Three Sixty brand identity and the “OG Ghetto Gorilla” which I couldn’t help but love.

Boutikee

Next we bumped into the lovely Sneha from Boutikee, they’re basically partywear specialist, they have everything you’ll ever need for  a night out. Sneha started the brand after she was feed up of not being able to find affordable, beautifully made party dresses, a couple of months later Boutikee was born. Unfortunately we were too busy talking to Sneha to actually take more pictures of the rest of her products but they can all be found on their site or ASOS.

Bill † Mar

Obui and I loved this brand as soon as we set eyes on it, they took simple, classis silloutes and cuts and put an amazing contemporary twist on them, we especially loved the shirts contrasting patterns and fabrics and the cropped shirts, so simple but unique. There were also loads of amazing dresses  and a crazy  pale lilac and sherbet yellow matching pants set which I some how managed to forgot a picture of that I just loved! Bill and Mar can be found at their offical site, ASOS Marketplace and one of my favouite sites; Sense of Fashion.

There were also a couple of other brands that looked amazing but we just didn’t have enough time to pop over  to; Finnish up-cycling brand,  Pogostick Failure,  Music/T-shirt/Lifesylte brand MillionHands and Enya Patrcia who had a colouful collection of Ladies Occasionwear.

A big thanks to all the lovely brands we met throughout the day and the amazingly helpful Margin staff.
