All Mine. Whimsical Wears for Dazzling Dames

Eyelet You playsuit


Why Cello Moon


Pirate Folk Shirt, 'What's Your Caper' jacket and 'Row Your Boat' shorts


Katherine Pont, a fine arts grad, was designing T-shirts for friends and working as a buyer for a boutique when she started Mine. Eventually, Pont branched out and began designing her own range of clothes and now, six years later, Mine just happens to be one of the coolest labels around town.


That Pont's roots are firmly placed in art rather than traditional design or fashion school studies plays a significant role in her creations. Her collections unfurl in a story-like manner: she thinks of a theme and designs dresses to suit that theme. Luckily, Pont's themes tend to be awesome such as her pirate obsession which bore some of the cutest, tomboyish dresses for the Damsel in this Dress collection.
Pont is currently working on a new range. Keep your eyes peeled.

MODernism

OOs Britpop jersey dress


80s Ska skirt and dress

70s Paisley shirt dress


60s Mod shirt mini dress




Fashion and music have always enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship. Every major musical movement has had a 'look': Grunge and flannel; Riot Grrl and baby doll dresses; Hippies and flares. True, every genre has its own style but only one fashion label has dressed five musical movements over 50 years. Introducing the Ben Sherman collection: 'Decades of Dresses'.

From humble beginnings in the 60s when Beatlemania was sweeping the world and a new youth movement called Mod was erupting in London, Ben Sherman have always produced clothes to blend with the latest scene. To celebrate, Ben Sherman have collaborated with fashion label PPQ, a label also in tune with the music vibe, to create a range of five uber-cool dresses that encapsulate the mood and feel of five decades of musical history: Mod, Rock, Ska, Britpop and Indie.
Visit Ben Sherman to snap up one of these dresses and transport yourself back to your favourite decade. But be quick! These highly coveted dresses won't be around for long!
Each dress is 175.00 from Ben Sherman
