Fashion Forward - Party Season

Martine Alexander, Celebrity Stylist and Wardrobe Concierge, offers her expert fashion advice…

As we look for the perfect outfit for the party season, this issue I’m introducing the concept of designer rental

Whatever your budget, the thought is the same – “I’m only going to wear it once because everyone will have seen me in it!”

We buy outfits that our nearest and dearest see us in and that we put on social media, but we can never be seen in it again. I mean, that would be committing a cardinal sin!

So these discarded, worn once clothes sit in our wardrobe, losing value and gaining dust – we have no other option…or do we?

This month, I wanted to introduce to you the concept of designer rental. Most of us are only really familiar with renting men’s suits but let me tell you, there’s a huge world out there, full of designer clothes, shoes, bags and jewellery!

What’s not to love? You hire the pieces you want, wear them for your event and then send them back! And if you really love it, you have the option to buy it!

I’ve created some looks with companies I have worked with when styling my celebrity clients for the red carpet…

What I’ve Been Up To…

Pride of Britain is just around the corner, so I’ve been designing a gown for a celebrity client, plus travelling around the UK sourcing clothes for private clients. I also celebrated a ‘big’ milestone birthday across the pond.
