About me:

I'm a fashion designer and my label is Quail By Mail! I specialise in organic, fairtrade, handloomed Ahimsa silk and interesting heritage fabrics like South African shweshwe and Indonesian batik. I'm a huge fan of Organic Ardalanish tweed from the Isle of Mull. Quail garments are manufactured professionaly in England. On my website you'll find cute dresses from £49, funky blouses from £39, I also stock handbags from Kate Sheridan at heavily discounted prices...60% off! www.quailbymail.co.uk

My style

My style in 10 words or fewer:

I haven't shopped on the high street in years. I'm into originality and quality. I'm into chic artisan British clothing. As a designer I'm putting back pleats, pockets and I specialise in green and ethical fabrics such as organic cotton, South African shweshwe and authentic Indonesian batik. I love limited edition clothing, to see a made in England label, quirky pattern, texture, quality, funky!

Celebrity style icon:

Cate Blanchett, "...in Charlotte Grey" Fearne Cotton "....at Glatonbury" Charlize Theron "...in any movie" Kristen Scot Thomas "...English Patient" Renee Russo/Faye Dunaway "...in Thomas Crown Affair" Amélie "...because anything French or French retro or French Indy is just so cool"!

I’d rather go naked than wear:

Polyester or other cheap fabrics made from nasties! The colours look fake and cheap and feel horrible on the skin.
