Kelly Shaw is a woman’s wear designer with a documentary approach to fashion. Her clothes tell the untold stories of our time. Her slogan dresses smack you in the face with a reality that is rarely talked about. The “Today is Boring” dress questions the level of authenticity in today’s art, design, music and politics. The brand is philosophical in content and mischievous by nature and its ethos is to REBEL and to REVOLUTIONISE. Kelly says, “Don’t be dictated to by others: COME AS YOU ARE!

The next collection

Autumn Winter 2015 is about exploring one’s dark side and vulnerabilities, desires and hopes in order to discover "the infinite power of our light". It's pretty deep (what a surprise!) with a lot of Jungian philosophy present. This collection aims to ask some important and very current questions... Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to be "perfect"? What happens when we suppress our dark side, vulnerabilities, desires and hopeful parts of our personalities and curse ourselves for not reaching this level of "perfection" and/or “goodness”?. On top of this, many of us aspire to images that are not real and have been “photoshopped” within an inch of their lives. I do however like to maintain a generally positive vibe (!) which is why the collection will ultimately be about accepting and celebrating our own imperfections because actually that will make us all a lot happier in the long run! I told you it was deep! Let’s see how the Parisians feel about this ;)

Paris

To take the brand to the next level I have been advised by fellow designers and mentors alike that Paris is where it's at in terms of sales. During Paris Fashion Week buyers from all over the world visit each trade show and showroom space to place their orders for the next season. Why Paris and not London? Well, the UK Fashion and Textile Association provide government funding for British brands to show in Paris to help increase the UK’s export industry and culture whilst providing some extra funding for small brands.

About the funding

Each Paris trade show and showroom vary in price but generally, the cost is around £3500. As my business is still very young and developing it simply doesn’t have the cash flow to fund such a project. As mentioned above, I am also in the process of applying to the UK Fashion and Textile Association, which could potentially invest a further £1000 into the project. If I manage to reach the £3500 goal through Sponsume and the UKFT, I will indeed be able to take the next Autumn / Winter 2015 collection to Paris.
