If you're looking for a cool venue that's classy, elegant and intimate, Fredericks could be your place.

I was recently asked by the British Library to talk at a special launch event to help other London entrepreneurs to start businesses through a special new initiative, 'Start-ups in London Libraries' (SiLL) to provide free business support through our libraries in different boroughs. It’s a such great idea for start-ups, it will help more businesses to develop ideas. I wish this support was available in my borough when I first started.

One of the most chicest trends at the moment, are beautiful dried flowers. We have completely fallen in love with the beautiful flowers from Botanique Workshop, on Exmouth Market and they also have a boutique in Stoke Newington. We've just added some flowers to our studio, and I think you would agree that they're such a perfect fit for our dresses, don't you think?
