Did you get the real good one? Did you get the GOOD ONE?!

On Friday night, I went along to the sample sale of the incredible British brand Good One. Even Skin was there! (she's on the far right next to Grace Jones in the linked pic. Unfortunately, no photos were allowed of her while trying on clothes, sigh!)

I found the studio in Hackney


walked in


...and chatted with the nicest designer Nin, who I'd met at London Fashion Week's On/Off. (we'd talked a lot about roadkill, don't ask!)


She offered me a glass of wine, and I oohed and aahed over the clothes while snapping pics and asking her questions (I officially ONLY want to shop at private sample sales now lolol). I asked her the very obvious "What was your inspiration?" and she just laughed and said, "I want to make pretty clothes! It's that simple, really!" I loved her honesty!

One really cool thing they do, besides recycling materials to create new clothing, is they can custom-make you a dress in any size using colors you select from their stock. Here are the fabric choices!!!!!!


And more pics:

The ladies making the magic happen:


Beautiful clothes!







I told them to look up my blog lololololololololololol


More beautiful clothes (I bought the dress in the center):


Blurry shot of me in the beautiful clothes (sigh, I'll get the hang of it someday soon):


If you want to go to their sample sales and events, go to their website and sign up for the mailing list. It's definitely a great experience, much better than some crowded shop with no wine!!!! lol They've also got a mini-collection available now on Asos if you aren't in the London area. I really love the leggings. I'll definitely post pics of myself in my new dressssssssss!

Thanks again for the invite, Nin! Ladies, remember this name!
