Report: New Designer Natasha Somerville Graduate Collection Featured in Vogue

We love new talent here at House of Harlot and so we were thrilled when one of our former interns, Natasha Somerville, was one of the graduate designers featured in Vogue when they did a feature on the Central St Martins BA show.

You can see from these close-up shots that Natasha is working in latex and using it in extremely complex and detailed ways, creating these Op Art patterns.

Natasha has created some striking pieces for her show and it’s lovely to see how she has utilised some of the specialist skills and techniques required when working with latex that she learned when working with our team.

Report: New House of Harlot Collection at the London Fetish Weekend 2012

Our new Collection called ‘FUTURE’ was presented at the 2012 London Fetish Weekend in a stylish and disturbing show about change and reality, the past, the present and the future performed to a remix of the Shangri-Las’ haunting, classic love song “Past, Present and Future”.

First down the catwalk is  Alex Simwise but I’m not sure what she is wearing? Pretty? Multi Coloured Bows? Doesn’t look like the FUTURE, looks like a summer dress being attacked by butterflies! Not sure that the rest of our models are going to like that outfit very much?! Alex Simwise wearing House of Harlot Wear-and-Tear Bow Dress to start the London Fetish Weekend House of Harlot fashion Show

I was right. First over is Rachel Irving looking fierce and she doesn’t look happy with Alex.London Fetish Weekend 2012 House of Harlot Fashion Show - Alex and Rachel

Thought so, Rachel has been joined by Morrigan Hell, Kate Lomax  and Sophie Landi. Together they’re showing us just why Alex’s pretty dress is called the Wear-and-Tear Dress, Alex wore it and they tore it!  Starting as Bows, now it’s Ribbons and Alex is stripped down to her panties and nipple shields.House of Harlot Fashion Show at the London Fetish Weekend 2012. Alex loses her wear-and-tear dress

Alex isn’t left for long without a fierce outfit too and she is quickly dressed in this sophisticated and sexy catsuit that covers all yet reveals everything. Our show has reached its climax. The FUTURE has arrived.House of Harlot Fashion Show at the London Fetish Weekend 2012. Alex receives her new catsuit.

House of Harlot is ‘Maid’ in London!

All House of Harlot outfits designed in London are made in London

I know, I know….it’s a bad pun!

I’ve used this bad pun as an excuse  to proudly say that all of our outfits designed in London are also made here in London by our skilled team who make sure that each time you order a House of Harlot outfit everything will fit perfectly and look gorgeous. What’s more, we love highlighting the bits you want highlighting and managing the bits you want managing. Tell us your desires and we’ll work with you to fulfill them.

….off course it’s also a perfect excuse to use this fab photo of one of our favourite models and friends Elegy Ellem wearing this sexy (and yet practical!) maids outfit. Photographer Technical Boy has certainly captured the moment.
