Vicky Martin in Goa


Vicky Martin designer Rachel headed off on an inspirational trip to Goa earlier this month to source new ideas & fabrics & take a break from her fashionista lifestyle & the freezing conditions here in the UK.

Look out for Indian influences & intricate sari fabrics that will figure strongly in our high summer collection as we produce a limited collection of signature Vicky Martin pieces reflecting Rachel's trip and picking up on this year's key trends of tribal influences & eastern colour palette.

The pieces will be perfect with this year's wedges... and we can't holdback the urge to splurge on summer footwear for much longer! We are love love loving Burberry Prorsum's gladiator wedges & Giuseppe Zanotti's stone appliqué multicoloured leather thong sandals...we might just risk the frostbite for these babies!

If you can't wait for our Goa collection to inject some summer into your wardrobe then take a look at our online collection now for bold florals, our take on this season's tea dress, vibrant maxi dresses & lipstick pink to get you in the mood for summer....

Love Vicky Martin xx

Vicky Martin celebrates 21 years in Fashion!

Did I mention Vicky Martin is 21? I'm really excited to be in our 21st year already, the time has flown by!

To celebrate this milestone the Manchester Evening News gave us the cover of their style supplement and interviewed yours truly on a full page spread with gorgeous photos taken on the set of the photoshoot for our Spring/Summer 2008 collection.

The article charts the label's 21 year history from club-wear 'back in the day' to where we are now, the celebrities I've dressed over the years (from Elizabeth Hurley to Roxanne Pallett), some personal fashion disasters & my dedication to Manchester-based fashion!

Next week I'll fill you in on our inspirational trip to Goa, it's a hard job but someone's got to do it!

Happy Easter!

Love Vicky Martin xx
