Blaze On

Blaze-On is committed to the development and growth of small communities in Thailand, through ethical trading.

Blaze-On is a family owned business, we responsibly source our products and our story starts here..... when I left Vancouver, Canada and the corporate world over 10 years ago, for a short soul-seeking holiday, I could never have imagined all the excitement and changes life had in store for me....

My two month holiday progressed to a year and the need to support myself arose, the entrepreneur within blossomed enabling me to travel for the next five years whilst finding imaginative and fun ways to earn an income.

During my travels on a white sandy beach in Thailand, I met and fell in love with my husband, and together we visited some absolutely, wonderful and amazing places. As time passed and we began to dream of having a family, but just couldn't imagine giving up the freedom of traveling and working for ourselves.

We settled in London in 2002 and immediately set up a stall at Portobello Market to sell a select range of Blaze On candles, the reception fantastic!

What makes Blaze On candles special is that they are completely made by hand and like snowflakes, no two are exactly the same; they are scented with natural perfume. It wasn't long before we expanded our range with new designs, colors and scents.

Enjoy

Lisa, Blaise and our little ones, Honey and Sapphire

So why not make your house a home and full of the warm glow of Blaze On Fairy lights. Take a look in our lighting section at www.itsmygeneration.co.uk

YULL Shoes

Sarah Watkinson-Yull established Yull in 2011 at 21. She completed her studies at Philip Green's Fashion Retail Academy in 2009 before working for the family business in particular focusing on the import, export aspects of business. Since then she has taken the decision to combine her creative side and ardour for fashion with her business knowledge in the launching of her shoe brand Yull.

Sarah says that Yull is 'style over fashion', a break from the current trend-following flow of impracticable and ephemeral shoe brands.

In 2012 she received funding from the Prince's trust to set up manufacturing in the UK. Yull is one of the only independent shoe brands manufacturing high heels in Britain.

The perfect accessory to any outfit i'm sure you'll agree. Take a look at Yull shoes at www.itsmygeneration.co.uk

Dainty Damsel

We are an original, quality and innovative costume jewellery company. We have grown considerably recently and because we started from scratch 2 years ago understanding metals, to finishes, to building various components and putting them together, we really do understand what constitutes quality and design.

We only stock jewellery that has either been originally designed by us, or carefully selected by us. We also don’t buy, or produce en mass, so you can be sure you really will be buying something niche and special whether it’s a gift for a friend or a treat for yourself.

We have over 20 years fashion experience and are constantly striving to exceed customer’s expectations and push the boundaries in design. We believe everyone can enjoy our designs and wear them with confidence.

I know you will love them as much as we do so take  a look at their products at www.itsmygeneration.co.uk.

                          

Stars of the Future!

At Its My Generation we are always on the look out for great young British talent in the fashion and design world....and boy have we found one for you!!

Award Winning

ALEXANDRA CLARKE

Alex Clarke is at the very beginning of her fashion journey. Currently she is studying Fashion and Design at Oxford Brookes and next year will embark on a three year BA Honours Fashion and Design course at Kingston University in London.

Her first ever collection of dresses was inspired by galaxies, the solar system and star constellations. The quirky construction techniques of space shuttles and the majestic swirling colours of the galaxies all helped to inspire the structure and design as well as informed the fabric choices and inspired her to make her own fabrics. Alex’s work has a sculptural element to it as well as being wearable and figure flattering. The garments incorporate the 1960’s space age sensation as well as creating the illusion of a slimming silhouette with all the detailing enhancing the hourglass figure.

All of her garments are handmade and she has a keen eye for attention to detail.  The way in which the stunning detailed panels down the dresses are created is through layering of many different fabrics and then cutting them away to reveal others, this technique means that each garment is entirely individual and you will see no two garments that are the same.

Alex has also showcased in fashion shows and has won an award for Best in Fashion and Textiles.

Im sure you will agree that Alex is a very talented designer and one to definitely watch out for.
