HATASTIC! the home grown label from Surrey’s own Chloë Haywood (launched in March 2009) was selected out of hundreds of applications from independent designers, to show her first collection on the catwalk at Alternative Fashion Week on Monday 19th April at Spitalfields Traders Market.
The collection is called RECREATION and as is typical of AFW, original and recycled textiles are a major feature. The collection is 10 headpieces/fascinators made out of old games such as playing cards, jigsaws and even lego!
Alternative Fashion Week is where all the best new designers are to be discovered. It provides a genuine alternative for them to present their work directly to the press, public and the fashion industry. Designers come from all over the UK and other parts of the world including Italy, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Serbia, India.
The Fashion Market that surrounds the catwalk from 11am to 5pm each day is a shopping sensation with stalls selling an exotic range of clothes, textiles and accessories. Hatastic! will be there all week, and will be able to get a limited edition Diamante Domino Hairclip until stocks last.
Admission is free to this event and includes a programme listing every designer. Collections will be taken up for the Barnardo’s charity.
So if you’re in the UK, be sure to get yourselves down to this awesome event. AFW ends on Friday 23 April 2010.
