Beth Eleanor Textiles Journal: Fashion

Last week I was looking at the designers and companies that worked specifically within the interiors market. This week I'll be looking at fashion, but unlike my last post where I told you about 5 different companies/designers in one post, I'll be sharing them one at a time.

The first company that I want to talk about is Free People. I've been dying to talk about them since I started this blog, and now I have a great excuse to do so.
Free people are a design boutique that works closely with Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters. It originated in the 1970's in Philadelphia, and is widely known for it's bohemian/hippie feel. It probably falls under the top/middle market range as an average item will cost between £50-£2000, and everything is made to the highest standard. I spend a lot of time on their website (http://www.freepeople.co.uk/) just drooling over their clothes and wishing that I could afford to buy everything they sell.
If I were to describe my own personal fashion sense, Free People would sum it up completely. Unfortunately, I don't actually wear clothes like these, as being a student, I can't really afford to be buying new clothes at all, let alone from FP! Everything that they design and sell is elegant, classy and earthy, as you can see from the pictures below. They tend not to use really bright colours - it's all quite soft and chic, and pay a lot of attention to small detail in regards of decoration and embellishment.
