You should be true to yourself in the clothes you wear

In the last two decades, French-born fashion designer Nicole Farhi has emerged as one of the leading designer names in the United Kingdom. A unique blend of easy, but functional tailoring with luxurious, desirables separates and accessories has created a loyal following for her across with many of the fashion elites of the UK, US, and Japan, and increasingly throughout the world.

Nicole’s career began in Paris where she worked as a freelance fashion designer, but before long she moved to London in the 1970′s where she worked with the likes Stephen Marks, owner of the then-little-known label French Connection.

In 1983 Marks funded the launch of the Nicole Farhi label, and in doing so gave Nicole the opportunity to design a collection different from French Connection; one more in tune with her own personal philosophy, clothes that she herself really wanted to wear.

It did not take long for her aesthetic to stimulate demand for the label. Five years later she expanded the collection with a diffusion line for women – Farhi. A collection of sporty, easy pieces, Farhi provided the solution for every working woman’s weekend wardrobe.

The Nicole Farhi brand has continued to grow with the introduction of swimwear, shoes, accessories, evening wear, and even restaurants in London and New York.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
