Au revoir

Hello, et bonjour to you All
& Happy New Year

...simply sat by a roaring log-filled fire on a chilled & ever-whitening snowy afternoon, & just prior to stepping into the adventures of another new year, I wanted to wish you all an unbelievably happy & prosperous, & of course healthy 2010 - inundated with fun, & enveloped with love & laughter!

With sadness Frocked.co.uk has now closed, & the main
business Frocked de la Vallière ltd will not be trading into 2010.

After a fashionably-full 5 years (from covering London Catwalks & American boutiques to Australians online, alongside Daisy Lowe, Isabella Blow, Sian Lloyd, & The Apprentice.....Fashion Enter/Capital, Cheshire Life, Daily Post, BBC, & nearly ASOS & Harrods etc etc etc; where was Vogue??) it has not been an easy decision but one that sadly I have had to make. Relocation to somewhere new will, hopefully at some point in the future, start the beginnings of a re-launch of la Vallière designs but for the moment all will be packed away very carefully - in lots & lots of boxes....to be unpacked & thus re-discovered all over again on another, but hopefully sunnier day ;))

So many individuals, employees, students, graduates, volunteers, suppliers, photographers, media etc & organisations have helped Frocked along our path & I give so many thanks to you all, & of course we would not be present if it were not for our stylishly wonderful customers! a BIG THANKYOU to ALL of you & FrockedFriends for your invaluable support over these last 5 years - we wish you well & so much happiness & do hope to see you again in our future.

(It still evokes such an immense & delightful feeling in me, when I hear the gasps from people pon first catching a glimpse of a fabulous Frocked posh frock, & the 'oooh's & aaah's' from the corsets; & not just when being fitted into ;) & of course the impeccably sexy office workwear range that never fails to turn heads, whether from a man or woman; ever so très chic with our
own unique sexy bit of tailoring!)

New beginnings & new adventures await us all in this new & hope-filled year of 2010.....I truly wish you all a fabulously fun & beautiful New Year's Eve; be safe & happy into the next year of new ventures :)

Au revoir pour le moment from everyone at Frocked

With love & luck, from

Frocked de la Valliere too grown up for Debenhams

In London, at the Showroom in Kingston, Frocked de la Vallière's newest collection was ready & waiting. Having been shipped prior to the original meeting, the new Prince of Wales & raspberry satin shimmer officewear range, & posh flutter frocks sat amongst some other designer labels waiting for the re-schduled meeting with the buyers.....sadly Frocked was deemed too 'grown-up'!


Debenhams Buying Director & Head of Womenswear were seeking something more youthful although, like all the other buyers did like the Prince of Wales range - but ASOS.com saw it 1st & are viewing again in June!


Frocked design for 'grown-up-girls', both mother & daughter, & to be worn for era's to come ;)

New photo shoot

Well we finally get to have the new range photographed - the updated & new posh frocks & corsets & the all new workwear/office range! (We have already had ASOS.com wanting to see it for their AW 09 range, & was delighted to hear today that Hobbs were liking it too!!)

In collaboration with Tina the Photographer, Leah S/Make-up (London College of Fashion), & Heather for Hair we are shooting around Machynlleth in Powys Wales on Thursday. Weather permitting we have some options of outdoor locations - really interesting & not your run of the mill! & our indoor shots will not be in your plain studio ;)) How exciting for us all.

Models are nearly all confirmed, 2 of our originals are travelling from North & West to be there, & hopefully we can all catch up over pizza & wine the night before - we are using real women who eat & are fabulous!

The pictures will follow......
Happy shopping
