🔫 Emma Thornton🔫 🩳🦀🩳🦀🩳🦀🩳🦀🩳🦀🩳🦀🩳 🦀 🩳 🦀 Emma Thornton, the founder of @Crabandlittle the comfiest men’s swim shorts EVER! Fitting for a brand that’s all about happy sunny days, Crab & Little’s first sidesteps into the world were made in the South of France. Emma was working as a chef in a villa on the Cote D’Azur, though meals were always interrupted by the boys complaining about sitting in their itchy swimwear. How, Emma wondered, might swim shorts feel if they were designed to sit in as well as to swim in, and began her quest to find seam-free, skin-soft mesh. When she finally found it, she christened it Netslix. It’s at the heart of every pair of Crab & Little swim shorts. Emma who studied as a Graphic Designer, designed bright, zesty prints to evoke sunshine-filled, happy days and hand-picked clever quick-drying fabrics for the softiest, flexible comfort. Launching in May 2020, Crab & Little is now all set to side-step into your suitcase. Your skin will thank you for it, and lunches just got longer.... Follow👉🏼 @crabandlittle

🔫Tacita Brown🔫 👗 🧶 👗 🧶 👗 🧶 Tacita Brown, founder of Cro-Che a brand new, forward thinking women’s label. Frustrated with the amount of waste in the fashion industry, Tacita began researching ways to create garments in the most sustainable way. For Tacita, crochet is one of the most planet positive ways to produce garments. Why? Because there is little to zero waste. You can create something beautiful from nothing. Tacita works with skilled artisans in developing countries across the globe, to produce her clothes. It was important for Tacita that these skilled individuals did not have to leave their families and children, to find work in cities in big factories, which often have unsafe working conditions. Cro-Che aims to empower these women by employing them to work from home. This is slow fashion. This is conscious fashion. This is the future of fashion. Cro-Che’s first collection takes inspiration from the swinging sixties - online now :) Follow 👉🏼 @cro_che_

🔫Emily Laing🔫 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵 Writing with her heart on her sleeve, London’s Emily Laing draws inspiration from her own experiences to create music which is intrinsically human at its core. Her debut release “Hey It’s You” is a soft, folk-tinged ballad detailing the intoxicating sparks of a romantic encounter. Inspired by traditional folk songs, Emily has always had a passion for storytelling. “Hey It’s You” is an intimate narrative from the young songwriter, filled with rolling drum patterns and languid guitar melodies. Sprinkled with a light patter of percussion, her delicate vocals float effortlessly over the soothing soundscape - creating a soft haven for her listener to reside in. “It’s about meeting someone for the first time and that connection you have with them almost instantly” Emily explains. “How a moment can exist between two people and no one else knows about it”. Finding fame with a song she wrote about Christopher Chope’s controversial vote in parliament regarding upskirting, the viral video went on to achieve almost 140,000 views on Twitter alone. The sharp increase of fans inspired Emily to write short songs and upload them to her social channels, connecting with fans across her musical platform. Finding a kinship with Scottish folklore, the young artist imbues her creations with a refreshing degree of sincerity and candour, embracing life's imperfections. Set to release a single every month over the course of the year, Emily Laing is set to take 2020 by storm. Follow 👉🏼 @emily_laing_uk

🔫 Lucy Warhurst🔫 🍾🍾🥃🍾🍾🍸🍾🍾🍹🍾 Lucy Warhurst is the founder of Percival & Co, a new drinks brands which creates delicious, lightly alcoholic drinks. It was a desire to find an alternative alcoholic drink that was refreshing and reinvigorating, but without the high ABV, calorie and sugar content of the usual offerings that led founder Lucy to quit her job in finance and start Percival & Co in 2018. Growing up on a farm where they made elderflower cordial religiously every summer, the hedgerows seemed like the right place to start in her quest to create high quality, health conscious drinks to fill this gap. After a lot of trial and error in her kitchen, the result is a range of botanically infused ‘Hard Tonics’. These have an ABV of 4% and are low in calories and sugar, gluten free, vegan friendly and made from 100% natural ingredients.

Cooked up from the depths of Suffolk and the height of quarantine, Chloe has now created her own bespoke t-shirt range. Made for men, women and children each design is hand-stitched and brightly coloured. Chloe designs a wide range of patterns and motifs inspired from works of Mattisse and Picasso.
