City Kid Out of Water

Hey hey fashionistas! No Debutante has been away in Mallorca, Spain for a couple of weeks for my annual family holiday in the sun and my gosh was there a lot of sun! We had a fantastic time in Palmanova, great beaches and so much to explore, I could have stayed for another two weeks but the kids Autumn school term is calling and everything must come to an end.

I have always struggled with packing a bag for a summer holiday by the beach. I am definitely a British, city kid whose bright colours, clashing prints, mash up layering and street style generally looks out of place at the beach and by the pool. It has taken me years to perfect a way to adapt my style into a more laid back holiday me but I think I am getting there! This year (with a lot of help from Adidas and fruity prints) I think I may have pulled it off. Yeah, I still got a few confused looks and some minor stares but I'm used to that in the UK, in a place where bright hair colour and LED trainers seemed 'de rigueur' I am happy to say I was completely happy with my chosen outfits!

Reduce, Reuse and Upcycle

Bristols upcycling queen Helen Brown from Kecks Clothing has collaborated with  Emmaus Bristol with an aim to bring reuse to the forefront of the charity sector, preventing landfilll waste, saving money and helping you revamp your stuff and your wardrobe! On Friday 15th July ( as part of a Bristol fashion doublewhammy alongside the That Thing Festival Showcase launch to follow this post shortly) No Debutante attended the launch party for the 'Upcycling Lounge' at Emmaus Bristol to find out more about the collaboration with Kecks Clothing.

Helen from Kecks Clothing, is one of Bristols top reuse specialists whom regularly holds workshops and talks inspiring and promoting upcycling and reuse, working closely with local charities and Bristol Textiles Recyclers to help promote  the benefits of reuse and to show you what you can do to help and get upcycling yourself! Kecks Clothing itself is a fashion and textiles brand upcycling preloved clothing with hand drawn designs and stencil prints. Kecks Clothing is available to buy at the Upcycling Lounge, Emmaus, Bristol. 

 I have fond memories of upcycling, stencil printing and customising preloved clothing as over ten years ago I had my own fashion and upcycling brand named Phlem ( I agree the name isn't great but it certainly got attention!) which sadly had to come to an end due to a lack of childcare & finances for the two beautiful children I had brought into the world with my business partner (and husband) Phil! It was a different time then and collab spaces were a very new thing that didn't yet exist in Bristol, I think as a small business we would have benefited from this greatly! I am very proud of Phlem and what we achieved.

Emmaus itself is a homelessness charity with a difference, not only raising money and awareness for the charity but also finding homes, jobs and support for many homeless people. Helping them get their lives back on track.

Check out the Upcycling Lounge at Emmaus Bristol on Upper York street, Stokes Croft, Bristol for clothing, workshops and Furniture in a relaxed and modern vintage atmosphere and find yourself a bargain. Find your local Emmaus store here and get involved!

If you are having a fashion event or a have a new collection you would like No Debutante to promote please get in touch! You do not have to be from Bristol or even the UK. Fashion newbies are very welcome!
