A NYE in the life of an alternative clothing brand

Despite opting for the quiet option of the suburbs, a few friends and an open fire for myself for NYE, it was great to know that the Jed Phoenix of London alternative clothing brand was out and about and turning heads. Jim Hudson, stage designer at Erotica 2008, was flying the Phoenix flag as he waltzed around the Proud Gallery in Camden Town wearing strap trousers, waistcoat and tie. Also in NW1 was Bob, who used to help out at The Electric Ballroom, who wore his strap tailcoat and trousers on a veritable crawl of alternative clothing-attracting venues that included the Hawley Arms, Hobgoblin, Underworld and Barfly. Bracing himself against the cold in a stylish way was Simon, who wore his fleece lined City Punk coat to Slimelight, haven of goth, EBM and industrial subculture. On a fetish tip, Kitty arrived at Torture Garden (the home of kinky fashion) wearing her strap trousers and Lizzie danced the night away in her bespoke hauterneck backless waistcoat and pinstripe bustle skirt. And rocking the crowd down on the South Pier in Portsmouth was A+D+A+M Lab4 who was wearing his Jed Phoenix of London strap trousers as he played a special head-to-head DJ set with DJ X Lab4.
Creating stunning alternative clothing and kinky fashion with a focus on alternative fetish menswear will continue for Jed Phoenix of London throughout 2009.

Kinkfest and London Alternative Market

This weekend is set to be a busy one, with an event on Saturday and another on Sunday. Kinkfest 4 is on Saturday at Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL and is jam packed with workshops, demos, shopping and socialising opportunities and a fashion performance. It kicks off at 10.45am and runs til 4pm. Following on from the recent legislation the government has introduced that effects the BDSM community, this event is a must for anyone either passionate or curious about kink. I will have a stall at Kinkfest, and some of my alternative fashion designs will appear in the fashion show. So come and say hello.
I'll also be at London Alternative Market at The Grand in Clapham on Sunday. This is a regular, first Sunday of every month event and features a workshop and a demo, as well as lots of things to buy and people to talk to. Doors open at 11am and it finishes at 6pm. Part of the £4 entrance fee goes to the Spanner Trust, an organisation that's involved with lobbying for rights for the kink community.
