The Latest from British Designers @ fashioncapital in Bath
After a hectic week of shows, talks and events British Designers Bath and a selection of other independent retailers followed up with a Sample & Clearance Sale over the long Easter Weekend. A special shout-out goes to Jackie here from Traffic People for organising the event. As many retailers know Easter Weekend can be tricky to predict but the turnout was consistent and especially good on the Saturday. Looking forward to the next one.
It is always fabulous to hear back from happy customers that have worn one of our designers’ pieces to a special event or occasion. Recently we heard from Vickie, she bought a Stefanie England (Bath Spa graduate 2010) fine pleat dress with flared skirt to wear to a masked ball and sent us this shot from the event after. Thank you Vickie, great to hear about a positive result.
New in this week we have a new designer Dee Izmail with a collection of silk satin occasion dresses, a beautiful fluid design in either black or bird print by Rachel Antonio and some new stock from Jean-Pierre Braganza, Ruby Rocks and Goat. Plus local Bath resident Carole Wadham has brought in 6 very unique hats. Come in and see the latest before it goes!
Until next week stay stylish.

Meet The Fashion Studio’s latest intern
Hello! My name is Lee Marilyn Martinez and I am a new intern at the Fashion Studio. I am an Apparel Merchandising and Management Student at the California State Polytechnic University of Pomona. Currently I am participating in a two month long Study Abroad Programme and am studying and living in Central London.
My role at the Fashion Studio will be to create and implement a marketing plan for the Apprenticeship Programme alongside Kristen Goodreau. Over the course of two months we will be working as a team to promote the Fashion Apprenticeship Program to prospective students, employers, and the local press. The staff at the fashion studio have all been lovely and I am looking forward to continue working with them while contributing to the company.
Fashion has always been fascinating to me and getting the chance to study the fast fashion industry in London has been a dream come true. Although my stay in this city is short, I am more than ready to explore, take on challenges, and see what London has to offer.
Boutique Pick of the Week
Bring a little style and feminine charm in to the office with this heather coloured shift dress by Masato. Featuring a mandarin collar neckline, the dress is cut to the knee providing a smart yet fashionable look. Channel your inner Mad Men screen siren by adding a pair of heels and a chic beehive.The dress is £190 available from the British Designers@FashionCapital e-boutique.
