NEWS| Paloma Faith wears Inbar Spector whilst the designer is interviewed by 1883 magazine

Last night, you may have recognised Paloma Faith's eye-catching dress for her performance on Later with Jools Holland; it was from Inbar Spector SS12's collection. It seems that VFS designers's collections seem to be making a regular occurrence on BBC as of late, with Georgia Hardinge, Myrza de Muynck and Manuela Dack all being spotted. 

Meanwhile, the same gold origami dress was worn by the lead singer of English indie band The Noisettes for their performance at the Royal Albert Hall last week. 

Head over to 1883 magazine to see their recent interview with Inbar Spector. The magazine headed over to her studio-cum-apartment and chatted sequins, Florence Welch and pyjamas. Read the interview here.

NEWS| "One to Watch" Myrza de Muynck appearing on BBC's "One Show"

"One to Watch" Myrza de Muynck will be appearing on BBC's The One Show this evening to talk her interpretation of the eighties wardrobe staple: the shell-suit. Worn by British subcultures from all walks of life, the nylon two-piece was seen on everyone from sportsmen of note, to early-nineties hip-hop groups. Chances are that memories of sporting the ubiquitous get-up will incite a long groan, and a "did I really do that?"- which is part and parcel of why the Central Saint Martin grad- and VOGUE fashion week fave- will be featured in tonight's show. Vauxhall Fashion Scout is about sourcing innovative, emerging talent; and being able to reinterpret a piece remembered with disdain into something decidedly feminine, and luxe is evidence enough of why we proclaimed Myrza "One to Watch."

Watch tonight on BBC One from 7pm.

NEWS| Georgia Hardinge creates bespoke dress for Ren Harvieu's BBC appearance

VFS designer and former Merit Award winner Georgia Hardinge designed the bespoke dress worn by Ren Harvieu for her 'Later Live - With Jools Holland' appearance last night on BBC2.

The dress features the cobalt blue and burnt orange print (created using her signature resin cast method) that was first displayed in her AW12 collection, showcased at VFS's Freemason's Hall in February. 

VFS chatted to Georgia about how designing a bespoke dress for emerging singer Ren Harvieu occured, "Ren and her stylist Amanda asked me to come and watch her sing at her headline gig in London and I thought 'why not dress her for that!'. We got on so well and I just loved her style so we decided we had to work together on something special. She is a very talented girl."
