Here at No Debutante I am totally obsessed with Instagram! The amazing imagery shared, and the stories people tell, are just so vibrant and unique, well, the people I seem to follow are! A daily snippet into peoples lives, inspirations and captured moments, albeit a slightly staged view on many occasions, ahem!
I am no innocent in this beautiful instagram charade and if I want to believe everyone is wondering about wearing beautiful garms with their beautiful friends and families then let it happen. Instagram isn't about disrespect and being down on people, it's about supporting and influencing each other and aiming to be the best you can be and being HAPPY!!! And what's wrong with that eh? Instagram gives me the feel good factor from people liking my posts to getting inspired by you beautiful lot!
This is the second installment of a feature I did back in April where I shared a few of my fave instagrammers who were also local independent fashion designers too. Well, since Bristol is so full of fabulous fashion I just had to share a few more of them with you today.
Here's a peek at the last lot in case you missed it Bristol's Finest Insta Fashionistas
Zedhead Headwear
The fabulous and hilarious Zoe Thompson from Zedhead Headwear creates the most amazing head-wear from outrageous carnival crazy feathered headdresses to more quirky pieces with My Little Ponies and dolls attached, from headdress crowns, pom-pom earrings to super-fly visors, Zedhead has all your festivals, Hen parties and summer holiday's covered. Boom!
Emotional Waterfall Art
Colourful and creative Jemma Bursnell of Emotional Waterfall is a living piece of art from her brightly coloured and printed personal style to her amazing illustrative hand drawn prints that carry an abstract, free hand Memphis style that Jemma has made her own. From T-shirts to earrings, plant pots, furniture and even bigger art displays including a residency at Upfest in Bristol, I think Jemma is slowly painting the whole of Bristol bit by bit.
Dulcie's Feathers
Dulcie Horn is a fellow blogger and fashion designer who recently launched a range of beautiful garms made entirely from vintage sari's, she went all the way to India to get them made and then got all her lovely friends to model them for her. The Dulcie's Feathers range includes jumpsuits, shorts co-ords, kimonos, playsuits and two piece hareem sets and are just perfect for the beach and as loungewear.
Kokomo
Super sexy, perspex queen....It's Kokomo!
These amazing dare to bear garms are made entirely from perspex discs lovingly pieced together by designer Jess whose amazing perspex garms mix festival showgirls with 60's spaceage glam.
You have got to love the Kokomo necklaces too with words like Disco and Yes, what could be more positive and fun?
Kuccia
Not technically a Bristol brand, but I feel we have adopted them and No Debutante has been in love with Kuccia for what seems like forever! The cuts, the prints the sparkles, the Lookbooks! What's not to like here? I finally got to meet the designers this year at Loves Saves The Day festival and they were just the most loveliest people ever! Get your sequin dreams and festival fashion fabulousness here.....as Kuccia say 'want some?'
